Hi ,

I need to convert a string to xml and load it into a datagrid. How do i do this? this is my coding..

           strOutput="<Person>John</Person><Item>Pen</Item> _
            <Amount>4</Amount>"


                xdd = New XmlDataDocument
                xdd.LoadXml(strOutput)
                xdd.Save(Server.MapPath("test.xml"))
                xdd.DataSet.ReadXmlSchema(Server.MapPath("test.xml "))
                GridView1.DataSource = xdd.DataSet
                GridView1.DataBind()

xdd.Dataset remain empty and hence i get error in loading datagrid.

How do i solve this? Pls help me.

Thankx in advance,

Not sure exactly why and how you want to apply your logic, but your code can run alternatively as below too:

string strOutput="<Store><Person>John</Person><Item>Pen</Item><Amount>4</Amount></Store>";
            string Path = Server.MapPath("~/Data/test.xml");

            FileStream fs = new FileStream(Path,FileMode.OpenOrCreate,FileAccess.R eadWrite);

            StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fs);
            writer.Write(strOutput);

            writer.Close();
            fs.Close();

            XmlDataDocument xdd = new XmlDataDocument();
            xdd.DataSet.ReadXmlSchema(Path);

            DataGrid1.DataSource = xdd.DataSet;
            DataGrid1.DataBind();

Regards
Mike
