Maybe I didnt look enough but I couldnt locate info on how to do a data driven test. Maybe my test does not require it and there is another way.
Here is the test condition.
I open a broswer, load my application. I click on "Load File"... which opens up a Windows "Open" window, where you can navigate to your C: drive and select a folder, then select an XML file that contains that data that will display my chart.
I am able to capture all the way to the point that I click on "Load File". How do i make my test use the xml file for continuing testing.
Do I add it to Data Source? Then what? How do I connect it to my test step itself.
Thanks,
QA.

From your description I don't think a data driven test will help. A Data Driven test is meant for a test that will execute multiple times in a row but use a different set of input data (such as different logons or different product names) that are entered into the same input fields of the application.
What you're describing sounds like the standard File Upload dialog. Normally the tool will automatically record a "Handle File Upload dialog" at the moment you click OK/Save on the Open dialog you describe (after you've already selected the file to be uploaded).
If this doesn't happen automatically you can do it manually yourself. On the ribbon bar click "Handlers". Then click Upload Dialog. That will add a "Handle File Upload dialog" test step to your test script. Next adjust the properties to point to the .XML file you want to select and be operated on by your web application.
That should do it for you. I hope I've answered your questions. Let us know if you still need assistance with this.

I have had to open a ticket though because when I click on the load file button (that leads to the upload dialog) it returns an error message saying "Outside bounds of browser window".
