Treat a DataSet as a class structure

Can someone point me in the right direction? Somewhere I read that you
reference a strongly typed dataset as if it were a class structure. For
example,
>
<SomeTests>
<TestsGroups>
<Group>
<TestName>TestA</TestNmae>
<Test>Run1</Test>
<Test>Run2</Test>
<Test>Run3</Test>
</Group>
</TestsGroups>
</SomeTests>
>
I want to reference this like SomeTest.TestGroups.Group.Test[a]. Is this
possible?

Have you created this in the data set designer? You can add a new data
set to your project and then design it so that it mimics this structure.
Then, you should be able to access it in your code with strongly typed
accessors.

Hope this helps.

Hello Steve,
>
To generate a XML file from XSD file created in DataSet designer, we need
create a dataset object, fill in data and use its WriteXml() method to
generate the XML data.
>
Also you can read XML data directly into a dataset, for example, test.xml:
>
<SomeTests>
<TestsGroups>
<Group TestName="TestA" >
<Test>Run1</Test>
<Test>Run2</Test>
<Test>Run3</Test>
</Group>
</TestsGroups>
</SomeTests>

(Your original XML is not valid for a dataset, so I modify a little)
>
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml("c:\\test.xml");
>
foreach (DataTable dt in ds.Tables)
{
>
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(dt.TableName);
}

We will get three tables in the dataset; TestsGroup, Group and Test.
Anyway, this is not a strong typed dataset. To create a strong type
dataset, you need to create the schema in the dataset designer.
