XML到dataGridView C＃

Question

I'm making my first steps with XML and binding data to DataGridView I have a XML file

<root>
    <setting id="1">
        <name1>val1</name1>
        <name2>val2</name2>
        <name3>val3</name3>
    </setting>
    <setting id= "2">
        <name1>val1</name1>
        <name2>val2</name2>
        <name3>val3</name3>
    </setting>
    <setting id= "3">

    </setting>
</root>

But what I get is

name1   name2   name3  
val1    val2    val3
val1    val2    val3
...

What I want is

name1  val1 
name2  val2  
name3  val3

what I did till now is

//...
DataGridView1.DataSource = PopulateDataGrid();
//...


    public DataTable PopulateDataGrid()
    {
        DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
        dataSet.ReadXml(SettingsXMLPath);
        return dataSet.Tables[0];
    } 

when I run the code it makes rows for each block

what I'm I missing here ?

Your XML file should like something like this to achieve the result you want.

<NewDataSet>
  <Table1>
    <Column1>Name1</Column1>
    <Column2>Value1</Column2>
  </Table1>
  <Table1>
    <Column1>Name2</Column1>
    <Column2>Value2</Column2>
  </Table1>
  <Table1>
    <Column1>Name3</Column1>
    <Column2>Value3</Column2>
  </Table1>
  <Table1>
    <Column1>Name4</Column1>
    <Column2>Value4</Column2>
  </Table1>
</NewDataSet>
