Eval a field in a Xpath Filtered Data Source

Hello,

I'm working on Visual Web Developper (ASPX with C# code Behind)

I would like to fill a DataList with items using this format (with as
item as elements) :
"file[title] - element[value]", example : "MyTitle - Theme A"

The problem is that labels, which are binded to theses fields, return
me an error :
"DataBindin g: 'System.Web.UI. WebControls.Xml DataSourceNodeD escriptor'
does not contain a property with the name 'title'."
"DataBindin g: 'System.Web.UI. WebControls.Xml DataSourceNodeD escriptor'
does not contain a property with the name 'value'."

Do you know how can I define the wanted fields in Eval Expression ?
To do this, I have :
- Created a DataList
- Associated it with an XML DataSource.
- Filtered this XML with an XPath Expression : "//file[@id="3"]//."
(This expression return the file node with all his children.)
- Created a label object, with a DataBinding to title field :
"Eval("titl e")"
- Created a label object, with a DataBinding to child value field :
"Eval("valu e")"
Here is my XML Datasource.

<files>
<file id="3" name="myName" nbSlides="10" title="MyTitle" >
<element id="1" type="theme" value="Theme A" slide_start="2"
slide_end="4" />
<element id="2" type="theme" value="Theme B" slide_start="5"
slide_end="5" />
<element id="3" type="theme" value="Theme C" slide_start="6"
slide_end="9" />
</file>
</files>

Thanks a lot for any help !

Helo all -- I'm trying to gain a deeper understand for what type of semi-declarative programming can be done through XML and XPath/XSLT. I'm looking at graph processing problems as a testbed for this, and came across a problem that I haven't been able to solve elegantly. The problem is to find "linker" vertexes that a pair of verteces from a pre-defined set. For example, if the graph verteces represent cities and edges represent flights...

I've spent loads of time Googling to try to work this one out and I'm sure it's something obvious. I get an InvalidOperationException reading "Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control" when I start my page. Unless I'm missing something obvious, this is *not* the same issue as the "2-way databinding cascading lists" issue in...

I'm trying to filter the records on the mainform (MailingList) of my database using a field contained in a subform (Donations).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
