Localization :: Load Data From Resx To Ddl?

I am having difficulties loading the data from resx file to ddl control.

Inside the resx file the format is:

Name: CData

Value:

<countries>
<c text="Canada" value="1"/>
<c text="USA" value="2"/>
<c text="Africa" value="3"/>
</countries>

cs file:

ddl.DataSource = this.GetLocalResourceObject("CData");
ddl.DataTextField = "text";
ddl.DataValueField = "value";
ddl.DataBind();

At debug mode, I checked that the data is been capture from resource file as shown above (xml format) But it fails at DataBind(), showing that the text is not found...
