Hello All,
I am new to XML exporting, and I am working with a .NET developer to provide Business Layer data (not persisted) in an XML file that I can pull into a Crystal Report.
Problem is, all data types are converting to String data types, including numeric and currency data in .NET.
Is there not a way to preserve the original data type, when exporting to XML format? I performed a test with the XTreme data set in Access, by exporting a table to .XML format, and saw the same behavior. So, it appears that .XML will only support String data types. Is this correct?
Thank you,
Kristen
