What am I missing with Xpath

I have a data bound combo box. It is bound to a XML file.

The XML file is structured like so,
  <Software>
        <Name>Test1</Name>
        <Name>Test1</Name>

 </Software>

I set the Xpath expression in the Data source control to \Software\Name
\* this gives me a invalid token error

I tried \Name\*
and \Name
and Name
and \\Software\*

Name
is the only one  that does not throw an error but there is nothing in
the combo box.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Use a slash not a backslash e.g. /Software/Name/text()
