problems using XML in .NET

[Miguel Oliveira]

Hello,

I'm trying to use XML functionalities to my project. The main idea is to
populate menus, dropdowns, and layout text strings in to XML files to reduce
database consumption.

Please tell me if i'm doing it wrong:

- I've created a complex type in a XSD file, rather then a simple sql table
(id, field1, ...)
- When i create a XML file (for data) and try to link it to the schema,
although the VisualStudio creates de root element but it gives me no more
clues about how to compose it.

My other doubt is on how to access the xml data, is it with dataset or there
are any proper XML functions to doit, just working with xsd and xml?

Thanks in advance,
Miguel
