Binding a string of xml to a datagrid

[SarahNcl]

Hiya,

This is probably really easy to do but i am struggling

Does anyone know how i can bind a string of xml that i create on the fly to a datagrid. I know how to do it using a xml file but i have no idea how to do it using a string of xml

Any help would be fantastic

Thanks

Sarah

You have to put your string into a IO stream... then feed that to the ReadXML method of datast, plugging that into the DataGrid.

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
 
Dim ioArray As Byte() = _
            uniEncoding.GetBytes(xmlstring)
 
Dim memStream As New IO.MemoryStream
memStream.Write(ioArray, 0 , ioArray.Length)
 
memStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)
MyDataset.ReadXML(memStream)
 
MyDataGrid1.DataSource = MyDataSet

From MSDN:
Note
If the XSD schema for a DataSet includes a targetNamespace, data may not be read, and you may encounter exceptions when calling ReadXml to load the DataSet with XML that contains elements with no qualifying namespace. To read unqualified elements, set elementFormDefault equal to "qualified" in your XSD schema as the following example demonstrates.
