I am having big problem manipulating XML in a dataset. I am reading in a
schema based on the following XML document. The minute I try to e.g. create
a new row I get 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DocumentElemen t xmlns="http://tempuri.org/dseditted2.xsd" >
<TableInfo>
<FieldName>colu mn value</FieldName>
<ControlType>co lumn value</ControlType>
<IsNull>colum n value</IsNull>
<MaxLength>colu mn value</MaxLength>
</TableInfo>
</DocumentElement >
editteddataset = New DataSet()
editteddataset. ReadXmlSchema(" C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\xmlxconfig\ dseditted2.xsd" )
Dim dsItem As DataRow
Dim dsTable As DataTable
dsTable = editteddataset. Tables("TABLEIN FO")
dsItem = editteddataset. Tables("TABLEIN FO").NewRow
Dim getcontroltype As DropDownList
getcontroltype = CType(e.Item.Fi ndControl("cont roltype"), DropDownList)
THIS IS THE LINE OF CODE WHICH GENERATES THE ERROR
dsItem("CONTROL TYPE") = getcontroltype. DataTextField
What am I not understanding about XML, As I am fine when it is pulled from a
database.
