[2008] DataSet.ReadXML question

[penguin5000]

Hi,
As a relative newcomer to XML, I wonder if somebody could confirm my suspicions.
If I have a DataSet created in the designer, containing one table, am I right in thinking that to add records to the table, I would need to iterate through my DataSet.ReadXML, and populate the designer dataset one record at a time?

nope,You can directly add new Record to you datatble object by using DataRow Object.
e.g

dim drNew as DataRow

drNew = dtMyTable.NewRow

drNew.Item(0) = "Value"

dtMyTable.Rows.Add(drNew)

the above code will add new record to your datatable.

Ps: I Hope i got you question right.

The DataSet.ReadXml method will read the whole contents of the xml file into the dataset.

Thanks for your replies.
The designed DataSet is in place due to the requirements of the ReportViewer. I simply wanted to read my XML file, and stuff it into the designed DataSet.DataTable.
I had wanted to do a simple ReadXML, but because this reads everything all in one go, I was thinking that I'd have to set up an XML reader to read one record in at a time.
