I found an example of how to bind array data to a datagrid, but haven't
seen anything on how to bind XML directly to a datagrid.
Are there any examples you could point out for me that bind xml directly
to datagrid John?
Or do you have to have a function that iterates the xml & converts it to
the array for binding?

automatically.

in message news:#j******** ******@TK2MSFTN GP09.phx.gbl... I am wondering what the best approach to binding XML data to an asp:Table from the Page_Load event in a code behind module?
I'm using VB.Net and initially approached this by adding a table to
the web page from the VS2003 ASP page designer, extracting an XML document
from SQL Server during Page_Load, then adding asp:TableRows & asp:TableCells
one at a time / loading the corresponding xml values a cell at a time.
Is there a better (less code / maintenance) approach?
