Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use an XmlDataSource control with a templated Repeater control to display XML data that has been filtered using an XPath expression. In this example, XPath syntax is used to filter the XML data when the XPath property of the data source control is set, and also binds elements of the Repeater control template to the XML data.
