将XML文件加载到DataTable（而不是从数据库）

Question

I'm looking into changing my application to load its xml format data files into DataTables (and a DataSet?) instead of deserializing them into classes. I can generate a dataset using xsd.exe, but I'm not having any luck finding any examples showing how to use it.

My Google searches have been hopelessly clogged with examples using xsd files as an intermediary in accessing database tables. Since my apps saving data files instead of querying a DB these aren't of any use to me.

Answer 1

Try out with. May be you need to format your xml.

    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    ds.ReadXml("xml file path");

Answer 2

Is manually filling the schema and table an option?

DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.ReadXmlSchema(xmlReader);
table.ReadXml(xmlReader);
