Use XML Classes or DataSet to manage Data Records?

I am currently using native .net XML classes for managing my little
key/value data storage requirements and they work great. I have created a
simple class to abstract the XML and manage my key/value data requirements
that saves me tons of time and works great.

Now I need to use XML files to store and manage records as a flat file (no
relational data) and was wondering which path would be best. Do the native
..net classes make this kind of data manipultion easy (such as creating an
auto index field) or am I better of to read the XML file into a DataSet and
manipulate it from there.

If native XML classes is the way to go, has anyone created a generic class
to manage XML records?

Thanks for the Help
