Binding nested XML to CheckboxList

I have a nested xml file which contains menu and submenus. I need to bind it to the asp.net CheckBox control on page load.

I am trying to bind using the C# code below

C#:

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
try
{

    //Reading the data from  the XML file
    ds.ReadXml(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/menu.xml"));
    DataView dataview = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView; 
    BioCheckBoxList.DataSource = dataview ;
    BioCheckBoxList.DataBind();            
 }

XML:

<menu>
  <menuItem text="Home" url="~/Default.aspx?id=e058511b-b7d9-4d39-b194-cf803014777" mid="08f360dc-   a9cf-4724-a595-66f7ca01c04e" predeficon="homeico" />
  <menuItem text="Bio" url="~/Default.aspx"  icon="~/common/theme/smoothadmin/img/cog.png">
    <subMenu>
      <menuItem text="Reg" url="~ModulesBioReg.aspx"/>
      <menuItem text="Mem" url="~ModulesBioMem.aspx"/>      
    </subMenu>
  </menuItem>

  <menuItem text="Por" url="~/Default.aspx?"  icon="~/common/theme/smoothadmin/img/cog.png">
    <subMenu>
      <menuItem text="General">
        <subMenu>
          <menuItem text="Make Appointment" url="~ModulesPortalsGen.aspx"/>          
        </subMenu>
      </menuItem>
    </subMenu>
  </menuItem>
</menu>

Method 1

1. Use SiteMap instead of XML file. See here: Using-Menu-and-Sitemap-with-Master-page
2. Use an TreeView control and bind TreeView to SiteMap.
3. In TreeView the ShowCheckBoxes property set to All.
