Not sure what you want, but does this help?
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("XMLFile1.xml");XmlNodeList names = doc.GetElementsByTagName("NAME");
XmlNodeList urls = doc.GetElementsByTagName("URL");foreach (XmlNode node in names)
{
Console.WriteLine(node.InnerText);
}foreach (XmlNode node in urls)
{
Console.WriteLine(node.InnerText);
}Tip: Check the Ignore HTML... option if you're posting XML snippets.
Cheers, Vıkram.
After all is said and done, much is said and little is done.

Mate, you already know how to add items to a combobox - you're doing it in your code. Just replace my Console.WriteLine() statements with your code.

ok, i'm using this, but the code is only loading one node to my combobox, can someone help me with this?
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.Load("ComboItemName.xml"); XmlNodeList Nodes = doc.GetElementsByTagName("NAME"); foreach (XmlNode node in Nodes) { NewNameLoad = node.InnerText.ToString(); } XmlNodeList NodesA = doc.GetElementsByTagName("URL"); foreach (XmlNode node in NodesA) { NewUrlLoad = node.InnerText.ToString(); } comboChannels.Items.Add(new RSSChannel(NewNameLoad, NewUrlLoad)); // And select the first one comboChannels.SelectedIndex = 0;-- modified at 13:49 Wednesday 11th July, 2007The Devil Lives in all of us, It's up to you to let HIM/HER out!!!!!
