Thanks Kenny, for the sanity check and the example! At least I'm not as crazy or stoopid as I was beginning to feel.
OK, so if that's the way it has to be, I can easily turn my XML into arrayCollections for dataGrids. In another part of the app, though, I need to have a tree of checkboxes in which every branch and leaf has a checkbox on it (think "MSBackup", for example). Any ideas for that?
