Reading an xml file into Dataset

[ALI-R]

Hi All;

I'm reading the following xml file into a Dataset but there are only 4
datatables in my dataset (which should be 5)
Is that because I have two nodes with the same name (detail) in my xml file?
how can I fix this?

Thanks for your time.

The two <detail> nodes are being interpreted as different rows in one and
the same table, and this table has three columns: sod_part, batch_code, and
input_qty.

I'm not quire sure what you are expecting. It seems to make sense to use
just one detail table with sod_part as key. What are you trying to
accomplish?

so ,,how come when I get this command "ds.Tables["detail"].Rows.Count" ,it
shows only "1" (it means that there is only one row in that table ,whereas
ther should be two,right?)

Thanks for yuor help.

I'd like to simly extract "details" nodes and show them in a datagrid and
let the user edit some childs of it.
That's it.
Thanks

Sorry ,I made a mistake for this posting ds.Tables["detail"].Rows.Count
exactly returns the number of "detail" nodes in the xml file.Say if there is
6 "detail" nodes in xml it returns 6 and if there is only 1 "detail" nodes
,it returns 1.

You should data bind the grid to the Detail table then. Each detail node
will appear as one row in the grid. You can edit the data in the three
columns and save the changes back to the underlying dataset (which the table
belongs to). After that, just write the dataset back to XML to update the
file.
