Fill dropdownlist with XML

Question

Hi, I'm new to XML and C#. I want to load a drowdown list with specific items from an XML-file. I want to fill it with all the persons where cityname=City1 (Person1, Person2, Person3 and Person4). The problem is that all the persons displays in the dropdownbox on one single row, instead of one person on each row.

Please help me


Here is my XML:

<country>

  <city>

    <cityname>City1</cityname>

    <citynr>111</citynr>

    <person>

      <name>Person1</name>

      <name>Person2</name>

      <name>Person3</name>

      <name>Person4</name>

    </person>

    <major>

      <firstname>Major1firstname</firstname>

      <lastname>Major1lastname</lastname>

    </major>

  </city>

  <city>

    <cityname>City2</cityname>

    <citynr>222</citynr>

    <person>

      <name>Person5</name>

      <name>Person6</name>

      <name>Person7</name>

      <name>Person8</name>

    </person>

    <major>

      <firstname>Major2firstname</firstname>

      <lastname>Major2firstname</lastname>

    </major>

  </city

>

My code:

XElement country = XElement.Load(Server.MapPath("myXML.xml"));

XElement city = (from p in country.Elements("city")

                  where p.Element("cityname").Value == "City1"

                  select p).First();                 

dropDownList.Items.Add(city.Element("person").Value);
