Question

I have a ASP.NET Application with a DropDownList and I want it fill with my XML File Values.
How I can I use my XML for this that I create a new item for every Value in my XML.

My XML File:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<NewDataSet>
  <xs:schema id="NewDataSet" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
    <xs:element name="NewDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true" msdata:UseCurrentLocale="true">
      <xs:complexType>
        <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
          <xs:element name="resources">
            <xs:complexType>
              <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="Werk" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />        
              </xs:sequence>
            </xs:complexType>
          </xs:element>
        </xs:choice>
      </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
  </xs:schema>
  <resources>
    <Werk>foo1</Werk>      <!-- The first Value-->
  </resources>
  <resources>
    <Werk>foo2</Werk>      <!-- The second Value-->
  </resources>
  <resources>
    <Werk>foo3</Werk>      <!-- The third Value-->
  </resources>
</NewDataSet>

In my ASPX:

<asp:XmlDataSource ID="XMLData" runat="server" DataFile="~/App_Data/Werke.xml" />
        <asp:DropDownList ID="dropWerk" runat="server" Width="245px" />

I need a kind of a Method that fill my DropDownList with the Data from the XML File

CS File:

private void BindXML()
        {
          XmlDocument xmldoc = XMLData.GetXmlDocument();

          using (DataSet ds = new DataSet())
          {
              ds.ReadXml(XMLData.DataFile);
              dropWerk.DataSource = ds;
              dropWerk.DataTextField = "Werk";
              dropWerk.DataBind(); 
          }
        }

Answer 1

First Method:
store the xml in a data set and then assign it to dropdownlist

DataSet ds=new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml("xmlfile.xml");

dropWerk.DataSource = ds; or dropWerk.DataSource = ds.Tables[0]; 
dropWerk.TextField = "field name"; // field to display in dropdown
dropWerk.ValueField="Value Field";
dropWerk.DataBind();

Updated Answer:
*2nd Method:* add one by one value to your dropdownlist items
If I understand your question from the comments you want to add xml values to list items
try this

XmlDocument xdoc=new XmlDocument();
xdoc.Load("xmlfile.xml");

XmlNodeList node = xdoc.SelectSingleNodes("/NewDataSet/resources/");
foreach(XmlNode n in node )
{
ListItem l = new ListItem();
    l.Text = n.InnerXml.ToString();
    drpWerk.Items.Add(l);
}
drpWerk.DataBind();
