http xml output into a dataset VS2005 beta 1 or 2

[SeaweedOPM]

I'm trying to get the xml returned from an http query request into a dataset.

It works with this:

Dim path As String = "

http://www.telcodata.us/query/queryexchangexml.html?npa=248&nxx=455"

Dim ds As New DataSet

ds.ReadXml(path)
GridView1.DataSource = ds
GridView1.DataBind()

But that only works sometimes; I think it is because of load time...? And when I try to run this path "

http://www.telcodata.us/query/queryareacodexml.html?npa=947"

it deffinatly doesn't work because it takes a few seconds to load. Is there a way to stall the load or even use a timer to make it work?

I really want to do this within a windows forms app and not a asp.net app. Thx

While the title of this forum is rather generic - Visual Basic (Microsoft) Databases - it is generally a place where questions about VB 5 and 6 and databases are answered. You didn't do anything wrong by posting a VB .NET question here, its just that I think you will get a much faster - and probably better - response to your question in the VB .NET forum: forum796

Good luck!
