Brian: This email below was initially sent to a MVP SharePoint developer who's blog I found, Patrick, and apparently he passed away in September. I found your blog as a reference from him, and hope you might be able to answer my question, and if not, provide me some direction toward someone who can. -Trey

I am working with WSS 3.0, and trying to use the XML Web Part to have it fetch data from a list, and then use XSL to format it for better/structured presentation. I have worked with the Application Templates Microsoft provides but they all seem to use the old DataView web part from back in the SPS2003/WSS2.0 days, and it is only accessible though SharePoint Designer. We do not use Designer.

Situation:

A custom list has entries for all our WAN network circuits out to their corresponding field sites, and a column contains their current status: up, down, or in maintenance. Our IT guys update this list as necessary.

Rather than plopping the list’s self-created web part on a page tweaking a view, I would like to pull the content of that list into the WSS “XML Web Part” and format it – for instance, a red light pic next to the nodes down, green next to nodes up. Should be simple, right?

My question is:

How do I pull data from the list in xml format? More specifically, how do I provide the syntax or link necessary for the XML Web Part to fetch data from this custom list?

I truly appreciate your time and help.
