Thank you Simon for the overview. :) The XML is done by someone else, and is already done, so that is not an issue.
I know I have to use the XML object to use the incoming XML, but I really haven't seen much (if any) code that shows how to do this with external XML. I have seen a lot of code that binds internal XML lists to elements, however. Maybe I am using the wrong search terms or am somehow glancing over stuff I could be using. Another issue is I want to use a code behind model, and again I don't see a lot of stuff using this method. Thanks again for your response, Miss Giggy
