Populate dropdown list with XML

How can I fill a dropdown list with XML data. Simplest way please. I would like to user server.mappath to get the data from the file. Is it possible to use a recordset

I need to populate the ID and the value of the record.

Code sample appreciated...thanksPlease see below code, that helps for your question.

Here is the simple XML file, I am using to bind to dropdownlist and name is as Xmlfile.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<DataList>
<Student>
<Name>Creator</Name >
<Roll>101</Roll >
</Student >
<Student>
<Name>Maintainer</Name >
<Roll>102</Roll >
</Student 
</DataList>

and I am using this file to bind with Dropdownlost in page load event. Assuming DropDownList server control name is DropDownList1

Dim Ds As New System.Data.DataSet
 Ds.ReadXml("D:\WebSites\VS2005First\XMLFile.xml")
 DropDownList1.DataSource = Ds.Tables(0).DefaultView
 DropDownList1.DataTextField = "Roll"
 DropDownList1.DataValueField = "Name"
 DropDownList1.DataBind()

Hope this helps you!
