[rote]

in this scenario below?
I used XmlDatasource but its saying it can't find the property url in the
xml which is there

This should work

<asp:XmlDataSource ID="DataSetDataSource1" Runat="server"
DataFile="~/data/Announcements.xml" XPath="announcements/
announcement" />

<aspataList ID="DataList1" runat="server"
DataSourceID="DataSetDataSource1">
<ItemTemplate>
<table id="Table1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"
width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top" style="width: 80%">
<asp:HyperLink ID="TitleLabel"
runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# XPath("url") %>' Text='<%#
XPath("title") %>' Font-Names="verdana"
Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="8pt"
ForeColor="#003399" />
<br />
by
<asp:Label ID="OwnerLabel"
runat="server" Text='<%# XPath("owner") %>' ForeColor="#003399" />
</td>
<td style="text-align: right"
align="right" valign="top">
<asp:Label ID="DateLabel"
runat="server" Text='<%# XPath("date") %>' Font-Names="verdana" Font-
Bold="True" Font-Size="8pt" ForeColor="#003399" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<asp:Label ID="DescriptionLabel"

</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</aspataList>
