I can't seem to get this code to work.
I modified it alittle so I could try and figure out the exception.
I keep getting an error on the " Do While (reader.Read()) " statement.
I'm using the books.xml file MS supplies for the sample code.
Am I that far off in left field??? or is there help available???
