    copied!<p>So I have asked a question on how to bind any XML document regardless of schema to tree view in the following way: 1. Bind XML Document to WPF TreeView via XML Provider and HierarchicalDataTemplate. 2. Display all nodes of the XML Document including those that have child nodes in following format:</p> <p>&gt;Node1 </p> <p>Node1 Contents</p> <pre><code> &gt;ChildNode1 ChildNode1 Contents &gt;ChildNode1'sChildNode ChildNode1'sChildNode Contents </code></pre> <p>&gt;Node2</p> <pre><code> Node2 Contents </code></pre> <p>Problem was that my TreeView was binding each XmlNode name property to TreeItem. In case of text XmlNode it would bind #text to the TreeItem which was not what I wanted.</p> <p>So via a post on MSDN forum I got my answer: <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/cbdb2420-1403-436f-aa7f-b1e3b1acb398/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/cbdb2420-1403-436f-aa7f-b1e3b1acb398/</a></p> <p>So the trick was to use triggers to set value based on type of node encountered.</p> <p>Caveat is that other types of nodes will be ignored and XML document may contain diffrent elements, so this might not work for every type of node encountered.</p> <p>Here's XAML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1" Title="Window1" Height="250" Width="450"&gt; &lt;Window.Resources&gt; &lt;HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="NodeTemplate"&gt; &lt;TextBlock x:Name="text" Text="?" /&gt; &lt;HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemsSource&gt; &lt;Binding XPath="child::node()" /&gt; &lt;/HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemsSource&gt; &lt;HierarchicalDataTemplate.Triggers&gt; &lt;DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=NodeType}" Value="Text"&gt; &lt;Setter TargetName="text" Property="Text" Value="{Binding Path=Value}"&gt;&lt;/Setter&gt; &lt;/DataTrigger&gt; &lt;DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=NodeType}" Value="Element"&gt; &lt;Setter TargetName="text" Property="Text" Value="{Binding Path=Name}"&gt;&lt;/Setter&gt; &lt;/DataTrigger&gt; &lt;/HierarchicalDataTemplate.Triggers&gt; &lt;/HierarchicalDataTemplate&gt; &lt;XmlDataProvider x:Key="xmlDataProvider"&gt;&lt;/XmlDataProvider&gt; &lt;/Window.Resources&gt; &lt;Grid &gt; &lt;TreeView Name="treeView1" Background="AliceBlue" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource xmlDataProvider}, XPath=*}" ItemTemplate= "{StaticResource NodeTemplate}"/&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <pre><code>public Window1() { InitializeComponent(); XmlDataProvider dataProvider = this.FindResource("xmlDataProvider") as XmlDataProvider; XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); // Testdocument doc.LoadXml( @"&lt;root&gt; &lt;child1&gt;text1&lt;child11&gt;text11&lt;/child11&gt; &lt;/child1&gt; &lt;child2&gt;text2&lt;child21&gt;text21&lt;/child21&gt; &lt;child22&gt;text22&lt;/child22&gt; &lt;/child2&gt; &lt;/root&gt;"); dataProvider.Document = doc; } </code></pre>
