    Resolved Setting Datasource to XML doesn't work

    I've created a Crystal Report over a blank XML file. Then when I use following lines to set the DataSource to a populate XML data file, the report still comes out blank.

    Can anyone help me please?

    Code:
                Dim rpt As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            rpt = New CCRpt1002
            rpt.SetDataSource(cXMLPopulatedFileName)

    Found the answer.

    just for future reference, you need to create a dataset from the XML first.

    Code:
    Dim myDataset As New DataSet
myDataset.ReadXml(cXMLPopulatedFileName)
rpt.SetDataSource(myDataset)
