But is there any easier way to populate an xml file? It would get a lot cumbersome to populate a large and complicated xml file without a spreadsheet like data entry method...

robinmitra1 this video is really intended to demonstrate how to populate a drop down from a pre-existing XML file. The first few seconds where the XML is created are just for reference purposes. I'll see what I can do about a demo to populate XML files.

Just wanted to say thanks. I am a novice and wanted to load a drop down list with valid states. This helped me to accomplish that.

Maybe I'm just a big idiot, but damn, you went pretty f-ing fast at the beginning. Was hard to follow. Nonetheless, thanks for the vid.
