I have two drop down lists in my form - Country and state. The items
populated in state depend on the selected value of country. This has to be
done offline so the only data source available is an XML. Basically onChange
event of country, the state has to be populated. How do I go about it? I am
open to both .Net SDK, as well as InfoPath inbuilt functionality.

You should be able to use the Filter funtionality in Infopath to achieve
this,
