Dear Group

I wonder if I do something wrong and whether this is possible at all.
Any hint is greatly appreciated.

I have a XML file bound to a Treeview. The treenodes Text/Value
properties bind and populate fine if I set them to an attribute of
the
XML tag. What I would like to do however is setting my nodes text and
value property to text that is between the XML tags. Example:

<products>
     <article value="1" text="Washing Powder">
          <description text="Super Whitewash">
               Super Whitewash is ideal and a 'must have' for some
               Government departments..
          </description>
     </article>
     <article value="2" text="Butter">
          <description text="Extra Salted Butter">
               Our Extra Salted Butter is guaranteed to send your
               blood pressure through the roof...
          </description>
     </article>
</products>

I tried to include 'Super Whitewash is ideal..' as an attribute in
the
description tag. But that doesn't allow me to to a line break e.g.
<br /> if I have several paragraphs for the description.
If I include the line break, <br />, between the description tags,
all
I can see is a list of <br /> if I put several paragraphs in but none
of the actual text.

Any help and hint is very appreciated.

Thank you for your time and effort,

Martin
