Hi,

I am trying to popluate skmMenu (www.skmMenu.com) from db on page.load:
[u]vb.aspx</u>
Dim custDA As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT CATEGORYName as text,
categoryid as url FROM CATEGORIES", oconn)

Dim orderDA As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT ModelName as text,
CATEGORYID as url FROM PRODUCTS", oconn)

oconn.Open()

Dim custDS As DataSet = New DataSet("menu")

custDA.Fill(custDS, "menuItem")

orderDA.Fill(custDS, "subMenu")

oconn.Close()

Dim custOrderRel As DataRelation = custDS.Relations.Add("CustOrders",
custDS.Tables("menuItem").Columns("url"),
custDS.Tables("subMenu").Columns("url"))

custOrderRel.Nested = True


' File paths

Dim strXsdPath As String = Server.MapPath("db_xml.xsd")

Dim strXmlPath As String = Server.MapPath("db_xml.xml")

'''' Write out schema to .xsd file and data to .xml file

custDS.WriteXmlSchema(strXsdPath)

custDS.WriteXml(strXmlPath, XmlWriteMode.IgnoreSchema)

'Bind to menu

Menu1.DataSource = Server.MapPath("db_xml.xml")

Menu1.DataBind()



--------- The resulting xml is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>

- <menu>
- <menuItem>
<text>PARTS</text>
<url>51</url>
- <subMenu>
<text>YELLOW SLD002</text>
<url>51</url>
</subMenu>
</menuItem>
</menu>

<b>However, I want the resulting xml to be as follows and not as above and I am not
sure how to do it in code:</b>

<menu>
<menuItem>
<text>Parts</text>
       <subMenu>
          <menuItem>
              <text> YELLOW SLD002 </text>
         <menuItem>
      </subMenu>
</menuItem>
</menu>
