Hi,
I am making a flash card type program for the PocketPC. I am using a dataset
to contain the cards, all of that works great.
I thought I would just import the XML into word or excel, copy/paste the
data from other sources or add new records, and then save it as xml. As i
have Office XP, that does not work.
Is there a freeware XML dataset editor out there? I've found many editors,
but I just need something simple - oriented towards a dataset with a couple
of tables.
Making something like this would not be that hard, but would sort of be
re-inventing the wheel.
Any suggestions?
thanks

Why not use MS Excel to store the table of data (whatever it is) and then
write a small export utility, maybe ~20 lines of code, to extract the
DataSet and write it to an XML file?
Here's an example that reads a dataset from MS Excel. http://www.winisp.net/cheeso/srcview...xcel-adonet.cs
Using this as a start, all you would need to do is
modify the query to represent your spreadsheet (use a "named range" in MS
Excel)
modify the xls filename the program is using
add a statement that writes the dataset, as xml, to Console.Out or to a
specified file.

Hi
I am using the VS xsd designer to create a strongly typed dataset. The dataset is apparently successfully created, with no warnings or errors given. Is it not then to be expected that this dataset then should reflect all the details put into the xsd? Somewhere down the line there is not a 1:1 relationship. Be it that .NET is so tightly coupled to xsd, xml and dataset I would have expected any discrepancies to have been well documented and...

If I save an xml file (with the schema) from a dataset, using
Dataset.WriteXML, I then wish to edit the file using XML Notepad. If I just
open it in XML Notepad and save it, without making any changes, the xml is
just about rendered useless, and I get an error "datatable does not support
schema" when trying to import it again. Is this a known issue, and is it
possible to edit with other tools?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
