The datatables that are empty goes missing in the XML that is generated.
This is the Code that generates it:
servicedDataSet.WriteXml(targetFile, XmlWriteMode.IgnoreSchema)
There are no XML tags generated for empty datatables in the dataset.
I need the XML to have all the datatables in the dataset. Is there any way to include the empty datatables?
I was trying to import the xml of a dataset into Excel. But doing so was creating problems like the tables and columns with a null value would go missing. The solution I found was to create an xsd file and an xml file.
Map the xsd to the excel and then import the data using the xml.
I used the following codes to generate the xml and xsd:
// Build xml file path (target)
string targetFile = "";
targetFile = Path.Combine(this.txtTargetPath.Text, _servicedDataSet.DataSetName + ".xml");
// To import the xml file in Excel two files are being generated: xml and xsd.
// When mapping the xml file to excel the columns and tables with null values goes missing.
// Mapping the xsd file solves the problem. Therefore, we are generating two separate xml and xsd files.
// xsd for the structure and xml for the data.
if (chkSchema.Checked == true)
{
// Build xsd file path (xsdtarget)
string xsdtargetFile = "";
xsdtargetFile = Path.Combine(this.txtTargetPath.Text, _servicedDataSet.DataSetName + ".xsd");
// Publish the dataset as XML
_servicedDataSet.WriteXml(targetFile, XmlWriteMode.IgnoreSchema);
// Creating the xsd file from the dataset.
string schema = _servicedDataSet.GetXmlSchema();
// Encoding utf-16 is not compatible with Excel. Changing utf-16 to utf-8 sorts the problem
string result = schema.Replace("utf-16", "utf-8");
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(xsdtargetFile, result);
}
