How do I get XML in a string loaded into a dataset?

[Kevin Thomas]

Using VB.net

I have a string var (myXMLString) that contains some XML (gotten via a web
service that returns xml)

I want to load this xml into a dataset (myDataSet).

But the myDataSet.ReadXML() method doesn't take a string as one of its
overloads.
If I write myXMLString to a file, then I can read it into myDataSet, but I
want to skip that step.

How can I load a string of XML directly into a DataSet?

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin,

Try wrapping the string in a System.IO.StringReader (which is a subclass of
TextReader). There is an overload of ReadXml( ) on DataSet that takes a
TextReader.

Dim sr As System.IO.StringReader
sr = New System.IO.StringReader( strXmlData)
dataSet1.ReadXml( sr)

That's perfect.

Thanks for your help,
