dataset and the getXml method

I have a datatable that I would like to output to a xml file. I would like to do something similiar to the dataset - getXml method. Is this possible ????

maybe if I convert the datatable to a dataset and then call the getXml method. Not very efficient though.

Ok I decided that it would be simpler to use the writeXml method and to create a seperate xml file for the table. (The program I have generates xml files based on data that has been entered and then performs xslt transformations). However at runtime I get this error "datatable cannot be serialized, datatable name not set" here is my code:

VB Code:

Dim TableWriter As System.Xml.XmlTextWriter
        TableWriter = New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(CurrentPath + "\XMLData\01TBLFBP.xml", Nothing)
        With TableWriter
            TblFilmBuildPrimer.WriteXml(CurrentPath + "\XMLData\01TBLFBP.xml")
        End With
 
        TableWriter.Flush()
        TableWriter.Close()
