Loading XML Into Dataset

[Ddraig]

Howdy,

I'm working on an RSS Reader and I'm having a small issue.

I have a form, and on the form load event I have.

dim ds as dataset
ds.ReadXml("

http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss")

Every time I run it is giving me a

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I'm able to do this in ASP.Net but is there something special I have to do for a windows based application? Perhaps am I missing a class or something?

Thanks,
Owen

You need to use New any time you want an instance of an object. Check this FAQ for a more in-depth explanation: faq796-5611
