Working with TreeView WebControl (binding with XML)

[naija naija]

I have a treeview binded with a XML file and it was working.
Later is stopped and SINCE then refused to work.
I have TRIED EVERYTHING BUT STILL NOT WORKING!!
Error:-
System.Xml.XmlException: The data at the root level is invalid. Line 1,
position 1.

But if i paste:-
<IEWC:TREENODE Text="Business Units"></IEWC:TREENODE>
Directly without binding it with XML it works fine.!
Can somebody really explain how this works!!

CODE BELOW:-



.aspx file
-----------
<IEWC:TREEVIEW id="TreeView1" runat="server"
AutoSelect="True" SelectExpands="True">
<IEWC:TREENODE TreeNodeSrc="IEWC.xml"
Text="DEMO TREE" Expanded="True">
</IEWC:TREENODE>
</IEWC:TREEVIEW >

.xml file(IEWC.xml)
-----------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<TREENODE>
<TreeNode Text="Production">
<TreeNode Text="Solution Architect">
<TreeNode Text="Project Manager">
<TreeNode Text="Project Leader">
<TreeNode Text="Programmer"/>
<TreeNode Text="Designer"/>
</TreeNode>
</TreeNode>
</TreeNode>
</TreeNode>
<TreeNode Text="Marketing & Sales">
<TreeNode Text="Business Development Manager">
<TreeNode Text="Area Manager">
<TreeNode Text="Area Sales Manager">
<TreeNode Text="Sales Man"/>
<TreeNode Text="Sales Women"/>
</TreeNode>
</TreeNode>
</TreeNode>
</TreeNode>
</TREENODE>

What i'm doing is trying to bind an XML file to a treeView Menu.
The control is already installed on my PC and the code below is suppose

Yup,

that how you pass the XML for the TreeView control. Using which property?

Hi Teemu,
I got it working and the PROBLEM wasn't the way i was passing the
XML.It had a configuration problem with permissions/authentication with
Anonymous access and stuff.(WHAT I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OFF).

That's why I was asking to see that did you pass it with a file or plain
string into the TreeVeiw control. But good that you got it solved.
