Creating DataSet/DataTable from XML
Hi,
I am in the process of building a server/client app, exchanging messages in XML. One of these messages contain schema and dataset originating from a DataTable.
I would like to be able to read this XML back in to a DataSet or DataTable, but can only see an option to do this via a file. Any way of doing this with the XML available in a string variable?

Most APIs that I know of provide a way of parsing XML supplied via an in-memory input stream, but the details vary depending on which products/platforms you are using. It helps to say.

Then if you look at the API specifications for System.Xml, you'll see that it's easy to invoke the parser to process an octet stream or character stream: it's not confined to processing a file.

That is true... no problem there... but I would like to be able to define a new dataset or datatable and load it with the schema and data from the recieved XML... the methods readxmlshema seems only to accept a filestream.
