DropDownList nested hierarchy

[Morten]

I have a xml file i need to databind to a DropDownList, the xml looks like this

<Category>
    <ID=1/>
    <Title=Main/>
    <ParrentID=0/>
</Category>
<Category>
    <ID=2/>
    <Title=Sub of Main/>
    <ParrentID=1/>
</Category>
<Category>
    <ID=3/>
    <Title=Level 3/>
    <ParrentID=2/>
</Category>
<Category>
    <ID=4/>
    <Title=Main 2/>
    <ParrentID=0/>
</Category>

is it possible to have the DropDownLost display it like this

Main 1
    Sub of Main
        Level 3
Main 2

Hello, 

As far as I'm aware, you cannot bind XML directly to a RadDropDownList. You would need to loop over your XML and create the RadListDataItems from it. Each RadListDataItem could then have some additional pre-text to indicate it's position. 

However, it looks like your scenario might call instead for a RadTreeView which can be bound to XML data and can include checkboxes for the nodes that you wish to select. 
Have a look at this documentation link regarding databinding to XML data fro the RadTreeView. 

If you need further help, please let me know. 
Thanks
Richard
