Help wih Dynamic Image using XML feed

[mikecx]

So far I believe I have the code right to open the connection to the xml file and I have the code right to make the image. All I need to do is figure out how to get the first line of the 10 line xml file to display in the spot I want it to.

<%@ Page ContentType=&quot;image/gif&quot; %>
<%@ Import namespace=&quot;System.Drawing&quot; %>
<%@ Import namespace=&quot;System.Drawing.Imaging&quot; %>
<%@ Import namespace=&quot;System.Data&quot; %>
<Script Runat=&quot;Server&quot;>
Sub Page_Load
	Dim objBitmap As Bitmap
	Dim objGraphics As Graphics
	Dim myDataSet as New DataSet()
		' create data connection
			myDataSet.ReadXML(Server.MapPath(&quot;test.xml&quot;))
			dgMBM.DataSource = myDataSet		
			dgMBM.DataBind()
		' Create Bitmap
			objBitmap = New Bitmap( 600, 20 )
		' Initialize Graphics Class
			objGraphics = Graphics.FromImage( objBitmap )
			objGraphics.Clear(Color.White)
		' Display Bitmap
			objGraphics.DrawString(&quot;Time:&quot;, New Font(&quot;Times New Roman&quot;, 12, FontStyle.Regular), SystemBrushes.WindowText, New PointF(0, 0))
			objGraphics.DrawString(&quot;Case Temp:&quot;, New Font(&quot;Times New Roman&quot;, 12, FontStyle.Regular), SystemBrushes.WindowText, New PointF(110, 0))
			objGraphics.DrawString(&quot;CPU Temp:&quot;, New Font(&quot;Times New Roman&quot;, 12, FontStyle.Regular), SystemBrushes.WindowText, New PointF(230, 0))
			objGraphics.DrawString(&quot;60gig hd Temp:&quot;, New Font(&quot;Times New Roman&quot;, 12, FontStyle.Regular), SystemBrushes.WindowText, New PointF(340, 0))
			objGraphics.DrawString(&quot;Cpu Fan:&quot;, New Font(&quot;Times New Roman&quot;, 12, FontStyle.Regular), SystemBrushes.WindowText, New PointF(480, 0))
			objBitmap.Save( Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Gif )
End Sub
</Script>
<asp:datagrid id=&quot;dgMBM&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; />

If you need more info I can give you just about all the info anybody who doesn't suck at ASP.net (unlike me) could need. Thanks.

BTW, i'm trying to make a dynamic image with ASP.net using an auto generated xml file.

Anyone? I've looked at ADO.net tutorials and can't find out how to do it like I could in asp. All I need to do is connect to the XML file ( test.xml ) , read the first line and figure out what the new command that used to be Rs(1), Rs(2) is.
