Douglas,
XML or XMLListCollection, I just didn't know any better. ;-) I will do some reading on XMLListCollection. I changed the combobox out for just a standard DataGrid Column and I get the data I was expecting to see (true for active records and false for non-active records). It would seem that I am getting the proper node.

Curious why not a XMLListCollection. Suspect a issue there. Either way, you might not be getting the proper node of XML in there. Sounds like debugging time. Use the debugger or for old skool dirty, change your CheckBox to a Lable and bind the text property to data.active see what is displayed.

I had this working when I was not using a bound XML array but now that I have changed to a bound VAR my CheckBox no longer works. I have both used a "selected=" statement and not used it with the same result. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
