hi everyone

I have a combobox, a dataset, a datagrid, and a xmlconnector on the stage.

my xml structure is as follows:

\<xml\>  
\<node1 name=""\>

\<node2 name="" address="" phone=""/\>  
\<node2 name="" address="" phone=""/\>  
\<node2 name="" address="" phone=""/\>  
.  
.  
.  
\</node1\>  
\<node1 name=""\>  
.  
.  
.  
\</xml\>

my combobox gets its values from node1s. it works OK.

I want to show the 3 columns (node2s) in my datagrid for each selected node1.(selected in combobox)

How can I build a button or a binding to force the datagrid which gets its values from my dataset to show the 3 columns (name,address,phone) for the selected node1? (selected in combobox)

thanks a lot…
