I am trying to list items from an xml file into an xml file. i am successfull to some extent but the items are not displayed in the list box what can be the problem.

here is the code and the xml file :

Code:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim myDataDoc As New XmlDataDocument
        myDataDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("datastore/dictionary.xml"))
        Dim wordlst As XmlNodeList
        wordlst = myDataDoc.GetElementsByTagName("Words")
        Dim x As XmlNode
        For Each x In wordlst
            wordlist.Items.Add(x.FirstChild().Value)
        Next
        wordlist.DataBind()
    End Sub

XML FILE(dictionary.xml):

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>

<?xml-stylesheet href="dictionary.css" encoding="ISO-8859-6" type="text/css" ?>
<Dictionary>
    <Words>
