[MrSly]

Here is an xml data what I want,
ex.
I have two tables under a dataset. One id DeptTable and Another table is EmpTable

DEPTID LOATION EMPID EMPNAME AGE
--------------------------------
10 LA 101 Peter 30
10 LA 102 Joe 20
20 BOSTON 103 Jean 24
30 NY 104 Tom 28

My desired xml like follows:
<DeptAndEmployee>
<Dept id='10' Loc='LA'>
<Emp eid='101' Name='Peter' Age='30' />
<Emp eid='102' Name='Joe' Age='20' />
</Dept>
<Dept id='20' Loc='BOSTON'>
<Emp eid='103' Name='Jean' Age='24' />
</Dept>
<Dept id='30' Loc='NY'>
<Emp eid='104' Name='Tom' Age='28' />
</Dept>
</DeptAndEmployee>

Any easy & efficient way to format like this ??
how about use dataset then go trou the ds to format ??

any idea ?? via string.Format or xmlreader ?? or other good method
