Populating ListBox with Attributes from XML

Hello

I have attribute-based XML that I have put into a DataSet. Ultimately, I want to dynamically put items in the list box where DataMember equals an attribute in the XML

For example

<Data><Classmates><Classmate Name="Sam" ID="2" /><Classmate Name="Sue" ID="4"/></Classmates></Data

I want two items in the ListBox in this case: Sam and Sue

What is the best way to accomplish this

Thanks in advance

Create it as a dataset, walk through the rows and manually add the items and
subitems.

Then do the same thing binding to the displaymember and valuemember. If you
get them in a dataset, just use the column names

through Add(). However, through that way, there doesn't seem to be a way to
control the value of the item. I want to explicitly set the ValueMember so
that the value of the list item is the Classmate's ID attribute value.
