The SOAP API call below only displays Folder names. Does anybody know how to retrieve the list of data extension within a folder?

<Body>
    <RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
        <RetrieveRequest>
             <ObjectType>DataFolder</ObjectType>
            <!--<Properties>ID</Properties> -->
            <Properties>Description</Properties>
            <Properties>ParentFolder.Description</Properties>
            <!--<Properties>Client.ID</Properties> -->
            <Properties>ParentFolder.CustomerKey</Properties>
            <Properties>Name</Properties>
            <Properties>ContentType</Properties>
            <Properties>ParentFolder.Name</Properties>
            <Properties>ParentFolder.ID</Properties>
            <!--<Properties>ObjectID</Properties>
            <Properties>ParentFolder.ObjectID</Properties>-->

            <Filter xsi:type="par:ComplexFilterPart" xmlns:par="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
           <LeftOperand xsi:type="par:SimpleFilterPart">
              <Property>ParentFolder.Name</Property>
              <SimpleOperator>equals</SimpleOperator>
              <Value>FOLDER NAME</Value>
           </LeftOperand>
           <LogicalOperator>AND</LogicalOperator>
           <RightOperand xsi:type="par:SimpleFilterPart">
              <Property>ContentType</Property>
              <SimpleOperator>equals</SimpleOperator>
              <Value>dataextension</Value>
           </RightOperand>
        </Filter>
            <QueryAllAccounts>false</QueryAllAccounts>
        </RetrieveRequest>
    </RetrieveRequestMsg>
</Body>

    Thanks for your comment. The SOAP API above retrieves from the Root Directory.

You can use this request. I've tested. It works for me.

<Envelope xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Header>
    <Security xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
        <UsernameToken>
            <Username>[user name]</Username>
            <Password>[user password]</Password>
        </UsernameToken>
    </Security>
</Header>
<Body>
    <RetrieveRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
        <RetrieveRequest>
            <ObjectType>DataExtension</ObjectType>
            <Properties>CustomerKey</Properties>
            <Properties>Name</Properties>
            <Filter xsi:type="SimpleFilterPart">
                <Property>CategoryID</Property>
                <SimpleOperator>equals</SimpleOperator>
                <Value>[category id value]</Value>
            </Filter>
        </RetrieveRequest>
    </RetrieveRequestMsg>
