LHammer
The easiest way would be to load the file into a DataSet and use it as the data source for the ListBox.DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml("data.xml");
listBox1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
listBox1.DisplayMember = "id";This might not me the most resource-friendly technique if the XML file is very large because the whole file is kept in memory in the form of a DataSet, which isn't exactly petite itself.
