GridView and XMLDataSource

I want to display xml content at aspx page. There is my aspx code:

    <asp:GridView ID="gvXML" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="True"
        DataSourceID="xmlData">
    </asp:GridView>

    <asp:XmlDataSource runat="server" ID="xmlData"
        DataFile="Items.xml">
    </asp:XmlDataSource>

And there is XML content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<inventories>
    <vehicle name="lanos" year="1984" instock="no">
        <rate>ok</rate>
    </vehicle>
    <vehicle name="jeep" year="2013" instock="yes">
        <rate>dziadowstwo</rate>
    </vehicle>
</inventories>

What do I wrong, thanks for your suggestion.

This should assist you. It appears you are missing the XPath. You can see further documentation here.

In short it might be as such.

<asp:XmlDataSource runat="server" ID="xmlData"
    DataFile="Items.xml"
    XPath="//vehicle">
</asp:XmlDataSource>

EDIT: although I know gridview is a nice pre-wired control you may also find it more beneficial to dig into a generic repeater and use item templates. in my web forms days it always seemed like there was something I needed to do that became overly messy with gv. However that is just an fyi for u down the road.
