Question

Hello I have a xml file from whihc i would like ot have a part of it. SO, this is my xml file:

           <Item Text="Reports" Navigateurl ="Reports/Default.aspx">
  <Group>
    <Item Text="Customers" NavigateUrl="Reports/Customers/Default.aspx" Select="true">
      <Group>
        <Item Text="Customers" NavigateUrl="Reports/Customers/CustomerList.aspx" 
              Select="true"   />
        <Item Text="Customer Products" 
                    NavigateUrl="Reports/Customers/CustomersProducts.aspx" Select="true" />
        <Item Text="Customer Measurements" 
           NavigateUrl="Reports/Customers/CustomerLocationMeasurements.aspx" 
                Select="true"  />
        <Item Text="Customer Groups" NavigateUrl="Reports/Customers/CustomerGroups.aspx" />
        <Item Text="Customer Outages"  
             NavigateUrl="Reports/Customers/CustomerOutages.aspx" Select="true"/>
      </Group>
    </Item>

To select this part I used this expression:

        XmlDataSource XmlDataSource1 = new XmlDataSource();
        XmlDataSource1.DataFile = "~/Menu.xml";
        XmlDataSource1.XPath = "//Item[@Text ='Customers']/Group";
        XmlDataSource1.DataBind();

The result would be

     Group
       Customers
       CustomerProducts
       ..........

But i wanted only those for which select attribute is true. But i have not been able to figure how to do it. Can you please help me?

This is the correct way:

XmlDataSource1.XPath = "//Item[@Text ='Customers']/Group/Item[@Select = 'true']";
