Re: XML as a DataSource
You could read the xml file into a DataSet object and use that. The DataSet (and DataTable) contains a function for reading in XML data from a file and storing it in a DataSet. You should create the DataSet first in code:
Code:
DataSet dataset = new DataSet("myDataSet");
// Read the xml data into the DataSet object
// The myDataFile.xml file must contain data formatted in
// such a way that it can be loaded into the DataSet
dataSet.ReadXml("myDataFile.xml");
// You can save the data to XML
// You may want to do this first so you have a file
// formatted for being read into the DataSet.
dataSet.WriteXml("myDataFile.xml");
