filtering the received xml from DataSet.GetXml( )

hi, I'm sorry if this isn't the right group, I just didnt know which category
to place this question in.
Anyway, I have 2 problems: I got a web service which connects to a DB and
puts the data in a DataSet, and sends back to the user the DataSet.GetXml( )
(I know that a Dataset is serializable, but i need it's xml. anyway, this
method does not create tags with no values in the output xml, in case a
certain field in the DB equals DBNull.value, and i need it to do so - i need
it to create those fields, and not place any value in them. i thought maybe
there's a way to create a special schema to filter the output xml, but i know
to apply schemas only on the xml, which in that stage, its already too late,
because i need the schema to be applied in the dataset stage.

Also, i need the ouput xml to distinguish which field is the primary key
field in the DB table, somehow let the Dataset know which field is it, and
again - apply a schema (or any other way) on the dataset, that when i call
the method GetXml() - i'll get the xml updated - with an attribute
"<FIELD_NAM E is_primary_key= "true">valu e</FIELD_NAME>", and for all fields
which doesn't have any values stored for them in the DB -
"<FIELD_NAM E></FIELD_NAME>".
btw - i work with oracle oledb.

thank you

I would think a defined schema could force creation of XML nodes
corresponding to fields with no value, but the easiest workaround is to put
some dummy values in your DB fields as defaults; e.g. empty strings, zeros,
etc. instead of NULL values.

Hi, I am trying to use the GetXml() function of my DataSet, and its returning all the rows and their values correctly in Elements format. How can i change this default behaviour of the GetXml() function to return the embedded nodes as an Attribute of an entity and not ChildNodes, e.g. The DataSet's GetXml function returns like this <File> <FileName>some.xml</FileName>

I have run into a problem that I have not found an easy solution for. My data all resides in a dataset and we're using getxml to return the xml and send that on to the webserver for processing. It seems though that the getxml method always wants to create formatted xml (see example below). I don't want it like that and want it in a single line. I haven't been able to find an easy way to do this, because I can't just strip spaces/crlf...

I have a SQL2005 XML column I load into a DataSet. I then bind to a DataGrid. If I set an asp:Literal text value to the DataSet.GetXml() when I first load it into the DataSet, it displays correctly. If I later try to display the XML content in the asp:Literal control, then I get "<NewDataSet />". Why is that? Why can't I get the actual XML back from the DataSet? I'm new to DataSets, so I'm probably just missing something basic. Here's...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
