xml and databinding

[Karl Hungus]

Im trying to build the navigation menu on my site using an XML file as the
admin.

The XML file mirrors the nesting structure of the menu (example XML is
below). Ive been up and down the samples but cant seem to find a way to bind
this XML structure to an appropriate list or grid. My question is basically
what is the right control to handle binding nested XML structures of varying
depths, and any info on how to use it would be great.

Just as an example, Id like to be able to read this XML and have the aspx
page generate something like:
| work
|-- flash
|---- new thing
|-- html
|---- newer thing

and so on

Thanks in Advance

I found an article that deals with this issue

Apparently XSL is the best way to go when dealing with this.
