With a datagrid? Or is there something more that needs to be added to get it work, or do it need another structure?

Hi Bob2,

You should have no problems reading this with .NET. Just make sure you import the System.Xml namespace. Then you can use an XmlTextReader object to read your XML file.

Take a look at that link for some source code.

HTH,
Keith

Hi Keith



Thanks for your reply. Read the file I can, but can it be editable to using the datagrid or someother way I dont know about?

Super High Level...

Read The file it into a dataset,
Bind that to a datagrid and then use standard datagrid editing techniques.

Datasets can save read and write XML very nicely
