Body
I have an XML file that looks like this: <pre><code><SiteMenuItems> <SiteMenuItem text="Home" navigateurl="/Default.aspx" tooltip="Return Home" /> <SiteMenuItem text="Admin" roles="Admin"> <SiteMenuItem text="User Admin" navigateurl="/Authorized/UserAdmin/Default.aspx" roles="SuperAdmin" /> </SiteMenuItem> </SiteMenuItems> </code></pre> Using the example I found at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2824794/how-to-convert-database-hierarchical-data-to-xml-using-asp-net-3-5-and-linq">at this StackOverflow question</a>, I was able to come up with the following code: <pre><code> public string GetMenu() { XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Load(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(@"~/App_Data/SiteMenu.xml")); xmlDoc = FilterRoles(xmlDoc); //Working on role problem return ExecuteXSLTransformation(xmlDoc.ToString()); } private XDocument FilterRoles(XDocument xmlDoc) { XElement element = xmlDoc.Element("SiteMenuItems"); XElement root = new XElement("SiteMenuItems", ( from sm in element.Elements("SiteMenuItem") where UserHelper.IsUserAuthorized(sm.Attribute("roles")) select new XElement(sm)) ); XDocument menuXml = new XDocument(); menuXml.Add(root); return menuXml; } </code></pre> The problem I have is that the code is only filtering the first level: <pre><code><SiteMenuItem text="Admin" roles="Admin"> </code></pre> But I can't figure out how to filter the internal SiteMenuItem as well: <pre><code><SiteMenuItem text="User Admin" navigateurl="/Authorized/UserAdmin/Default.aspx" roles="SuperAdmin" /> </code></pre> As it is now, if you have the Admin role, it also returns the "User Admin" item. [UPDATE] Thanks to woodings, my child nodes are now going through the "IsUserAuthorized" test. Unfortunately, even though the test is returning "false" for the "User Admin" node, that node is still getting returned as part of the overall XML document. I was hoping it would return something like this: <pre><code><SiteMenuItems> <SiteMenuItem text="Home" navigateurl="/Default.aspx" tooltip="Return Home" /> <SiteMenuItem text="Admin" roles="Admin"> </SiteMenuItem> </SiteMenuItems> </code></pre> Any ideas? Thanks again!!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
