    End Sub

While looking into your problem I came an interesting fact that I was unaware of until now. Apparently you can use ADO.NET to fill a DataSet. Check out this article for more information.

A DataSet contains a bunch of tables. A table can be used as a data source for the DataGridView control....

I've never done this before myself, but you should look into whether or not XSL can help you to filter the XML results into what you want.
