Loop through xml dataset 1

[spangeman]

Hello there.

I'm trying to learn about C# (I'm currently a VB6 developer. I have done a few tutorials and am now experimenting with my own application to play with XML in VS.net.

I had a go with this tutorial as a starting point:-

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...con/html/vbwlkWalkthroughAccessingXMLData.asp

Which basically amounts to doing this:-

string filePath = "C:\\_Data_Transfers\\CFRMIS Data Import Tool\\CFRMIS Data Import Tool\\transferSettings.xml";
dsfiles.ReadXml(filePath);
DG1.DataSource = dsfiles;
DG1.DataMember = "files";
DG1.CaptionText = DG1.DataMember;

DG1 being a datagrid to display the XML data.

What I want to do now is loop throug the data in the dataset and I have no idea how to do this.

To start off with I'd like to write a loop which loops through each record in the dataset and message boxes it to the screen.

Can you help?


Cheers

I'm guessing that dsfiles is a DataSet?

You could run a for loop like this:

for(int i = 0; i < dsfiles.Tables["files"].Rows.Count; i++){
   dsfiles.Tables["files"].Rows[i]["column name"].ToString();
}

You would need to plug in your column instead of "column name"].
