problem selecting child nodes

[Nancy Shelley]

Hi all:
I am building a navigation menu using telerik's rad treeview

I am able to build the outer menu but not the children. How do I select the
child nodes (item) from within the loop?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Dim node As XmlNode
For Each node In xmlDoc.SelectNodes("/configuration/groups/group[@groupid= "
& GroupID & "]/menus/menu[@value = 1]")
Dim menuname As String = node.Attributes("menuname").Value
Dim treeNode As New RadTreeNode(node.Attributes("menuname").Value)
Next node
rtvMenu.Nodes.Add(treeNode)

This is my xml structure:

<configuration>
<groups>
<group groupid="1" templateid="1">
<groupname>Primary French Immersion</groupname>
<menus>
<menu menuid="1" value="1" menuname="Resources">
<item name="Preparation and Planning" menuid="4" value="1" />
<item name="Parking Arrangments" menuid="5" value="0" />
<item name="Agendas" menuid="6" value="1" />
</menu>
<menu menuid="2" value="0" menuname="Communications">
<item name="Discussion Forum" menuid="1" value="0" />
<item name="Eluminate Live" menuid="2" value="0" />
</menu>
<menu menuid="10" value="1" menuname="Professional Development">
<item name="Course Specific" menuid="11" value="0" />
<item name="In-Service Materials" menuid="12" value="1" />
</menu>
</menus>
</group>
<group groupid="3" templateid="3">
<groupname>Core French</groupname>
<menus>
<menu menuid="1" value="0" menuname="Resources">
<item name="Preparation and Planning" menuid="4" value="0" />
<item name="Parking Arrangments" menuid="5" value="0" />
<item name="Agendas" menuid="6" value="0" />
</menu>
<menu menuid="2" value="0" menuname="Communications">
<item name="Discussion Forum" menuid="1" value="0" />
<item name="Eluminate Live" menuid="2" value="0" />
</menu>
<menu menuid="10" value="1" menuname="Professional Development">
<item name="Course Specific" menuid="11" value="1" />
<item name="In-Service Materials" menuid="12" value="0" />
</menu>
</menus>
</group>
</groups>
</configuration>

The same way - using SelectNodes() or SelectSingleNode() methods with
relative to current node XPath expressions:

node.SelectNodes("item")
