PIC18f2431 ADC help

Hey,

I'm trying to get the ADC of PIC18f2431 to work. I will use it after to control a BLDC motor but since that is a more complex project I have decided to break it into parts and get it done step by step.

Right now I need to learn how to use the ADC properly. To test this I have written a simple program that's supposed to read a voltage from 0-5V, take that value and display it on PORTB. All happens in proteus simulator.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "header.h"


void ConfigureADC()
{
  ADCON0 = 0b00100000; // continuous loop mode, single channel mode
  VCFG1 = 0; // VDD and VSS as ref
  VCFG0 = 0;
  ADCON2 = 0b10001000; // right justified, 2TAD, conversion clock: Fosc/2
  ADCON3 = 0b11000000;  // all triggers disabled(check here the first two bits)
  GASEL1 = 0; // select AN0
  GASEL0 = 0;
  ANSEL0 = 0b00000001;
  ADON = 1; // start ADC
}

void main()
{
OSCCON = 0b01111111;
TRISA = 0b11111111;
TRISB = 0b00000000;
LATB = 0;
ConfigureADC();
while(1)
{
  ADON = 1;
  GODONE=1;//Start conversion
  while(GODONE); //wait for the conversion to finish
  ADON=0;  //switch off adc
  LATB = ADRESL;
}

}

And the header file:
Code:
// PIC18F2431 Configuration Bit Settings

// 'C' source line config statements

#include <xc.h>

// #pragma config statements should precede project file includes.
// Use project enums instead of #define for ON and OFF.

#define _XTAL_FREQ 8000000

I must be doing something wrong because the leds do not light up at all. Please help me correct this. Thanks.
