Thank you for taking the time to answer my question and explaining the datagrid
dataprovider. I think what what problem is the way the xml I am importing is
formatted. The root node is the name of the xml, then I have the repeating
node. Within the repeating node I have data that needs to go in the datagrid.
Problem is the tag names within the repeating node. Please see my example:
<root>
<repeat>
<feature></feature>
<value></value>
<feature></feature>
<value></value>
</repeat>
<repeat>
<feature></feature>
<value></value>
<feature></feature>
<value></value>
</repeat>
</root>
What I need to do is to put the feature data in repeat[0].feature into a
datagrid. But because feature is in repeat[0] twice(20 in the real app) it
will not load it properly.
Any idea how to accomplish this? I have been trying for several weeks now with
no luck.Ha!
Thanks in advance.
