This article will show you how you c an bind a asp.net listbox
control by an XML file data using dataset in C#.net.
Some of my previous articles are as follows: Stylish

Popup

Items to another List Box in C#.
So for this article first we will create a new asp.net
application and add a xml file in it.
xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<CountryModel>
<Country>
<id>1</id>
<name>India</name>
</Country>
<Country>
<id>2</id>
<name>Pakistan</name>
</Country>
<Country>
<id>3</id>
<name>Sri Lanka</name>
</Country>
<Country>
<id>4</id>
<name>Nepal</name>
</Country>
<Country>
<id>5</id>
<name>Bhutan</name>
</Country>
</CountryModel>

Now add a list box control in aspx page to bind the control.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1.WebForm1"
%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Bind
Asp.net ListBox Control by XML File Data Using DataSet in C#.Net
Css</title>
<link href="Styles/Site.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<table width="100%" class="content">
<tr>
<td>
Country List
<br />
<asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" runat="server" CssClass="selectbox" Height="50px">
</asp:ListBox>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
|
Now let’s check the code for bind xml data to the listbox
control.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
namespace WebApplication1
{
public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected
void Page_Load(object
sender, EventArgs e)
{
if
(!IsPostBack)
{
GetData();
}
}
public
void GetData()
{
try
{
DataSet
dsResult = new DataSet();
dsResult.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/XML/XMLFile1.xml"));
if
(dsResult.Tables.Count != 0)
{
if
(dsResult.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
{
ListBox1.DataSource =
dsResult.Tables[0];
ListBox1.DataTextField = "name";
ListBox1.DataValueField = "id";
ListBox1.DataBind();
}
}
}
catch
(Exception ex)
{
}
}
}
}
|
In above code I have read the xml file into data set and
bond the data set table to listbox datasource. After that I have assigned DataTextField
and DataValueField of listbox control.
Now we have done run the application to check the output.
