Write an application that takes the following xml, from an external document, and generates a radio button for each 'Colour' item.





%26lt;colours%26gt;


%26lt;colour hex="#FF0000"%26gt;Red%26lt;/colour%26gt;


%26lt;colour hex="#00FF00"%26gt;Green%26lt;/colour%26gt;


%26lt;colour hex="#0000FF"%26gt;Blue%26lt;/colour%26gt;


%26lt;colour hex="#FF9933"%26gt;Orange%26lt;/colour%26gt;


%26lt;/colours%26gt;





When an item is selected change the background to that colour.





Further additions:


Allow user to select the xml file which contains colours.


Allow choice to be saved.


Allow user to add additional colours and save.


Allow user to remove colours and save.


Allow users to generate a new xml file.





This is pretty simple but if your a beginner it will introduce you some new techniques.
