With this XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<root>
<item value="1" text="Value 1" />
<item value="2" text="Value 2" />
<item value="3" text="Value 3" />
</root>

And this code:
<asp:CheckBoxLi st ID="CheckBoxLis t1" runat="server"
DataSourceID="X mlDataSource1"
DataTextField=" text" DataValueField= "value">
</asp:CheckBoxLis t><asp:XmlDataS ource ID="XmlDataSour ce1" runat="server"
DataFile="~/Data/XMLFile.xml"></asp:XmlDataSour ce>

<Lookup>
<Lookup_Entry >
<Ts>
<T>
<M>context</M>
<V>type</V>
<Va>Citizen</Va>
</T>
</Ts>
<U>.html</U>
</Lookup_Entry>
</Lookup>
example of xml file is above

code:
<asp:XmlDataSou rce ID="XmlDataSour ce1" runat="server" DataFile="~/Lookup
table.xml"
XPath='/Lookup/Lookup_Entry/Ts/T/Va[../../T[M = "context" and V
= "type"]]'>
</asp:XmlDataSour ce>
<asp:CheckBoxLi st
ID="CheckBoxLis t1"
runat="server"
DataSourceID="X mlDataSource1">
</asp:CheckBoxLis t>

Now how do i get each <Va> that is returned with the xmldatasource as a item
in my checkboxlist

displayed now when run is with a checkbox to the left of each item:
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.XmlD ataSourceNodeDe scriptor
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.XmlD ataSourceNodeDe scriptor
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.XmlD ataSourceNodeDe scriptor
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.XmlD ataSourceNodeDe scriptor
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.XmlD ataSourceNodeDe scriptor
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.XmlD ataSourceNodeDe scriptor
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.XmlD ataSourceNodeDe scriptor
