Using Linq-to-XML, you can do this:

public partial class item
{
    public object CHK { get; set; }
    public int SEL { get; set; }
    public string VALUE { get; set; }
}

and somewhere in your code:

XDocument lbSrc = XDocument.Load("yourfile.xml");

List _lbList = new List();

foreach (XElement item in lbSrc.Descendants("item"))
{
   _lbList.Add(new item { CHK= item.Element("CHK").Value, 
                          SEL = Convert.ToInt32(item.Element("SEL").Value), 
                          VALUE = item.Element("VALUE").Value });
 }

and then assign that to your listbox:

lbYourListbox.DataSource = _lbList;
lbYourListbox.DisplayMember = "VALUE";
lbYourListbox.ValueMember = "SEL";

That should do it!
