Reverse tracking a XMLNode from a Treeview Nod

Question

Hello

I have assigned a XMLNodeList and its child nodes collection to a Treeview.. I get to see all the data on the treeview..

Now i select a treeview node item. I now want to get the XMLNode associated with it. Basically i want the conversion from a TreeNode ---> XMLNode Is this possible ?
