I'm new to vb.net and xml so bear with me please. I'm working on a very simple program that will read an xml file into a dataset and then the dataset is bound to a datgrid for viewing. If I use the XML file that was generated by .net, this works fine. If I use my original XML file this does not work. I found that the file that .net generated under my project has a line referencing the namespace. The original xml file doesn't. My question is, is there a way to use the file that doesn't include the namespace? I will be receiving xml files that won't include the namespace so I will need to be able to load them.

XML namespace problem

I found a way around this problem.
Dim str As String
Dim str2 as string
Dim xfile As New XmlDataDocument()
'Loads the xml file as a xmldatadocument
xfile.Load("Pathname"
'Returns the Namespace that is in the file
str = xfile.DocumentElement.NamespaceURI
xfile = Nothing
'Sets the Dataset NameSpace to the same as the document
NewDataSet.Namespace = str
'Fills the Dataset with the XML file
NewDataSet.ReadXml("C:\Documents and Settings\KAlfred\Desktop\nutruck\NuTruckLoadRequestorPkgFmt.xml"
If someone has a better (or more correct) way to do this, feel free to post.
