Hello,

I was reading the article on how to retreive elements from an XML file and display them to the user. The Kitupa article is: [http://www.kirupa.com/net/readingXML\_pg3.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/net/readingXML_pg3.htm) .

In my case I am able to get as far, except that I am stuck at the point where I need to be able to bind select elements’ contents to a gridview.

For example if I have an XML file that contains 5 elements, I want to take out only 2 and bind those 2 to a gridview. Is there a way to do that? What is the best way? Could you show me a code snippet?

Thank you,
