All,

What is the simplest way to XML serialize only required columns from the
DataSet without transforming it or copying data from it? Is it possible to
set what columns should be serialized and what should not? I'm talking about
Tables[0] only. Maybe there is a simple way to bind a XML DataSet Schema and
use it to filter/skip extra data from the XML string?

That is what somebody find simple or is used too.

I simply would create a new dataset and insert in that a new datatable that
I have created with DataView(ToTable,x,x) and then write it with
ds.WriteXML(path)

Be aware that there is beside as it is serializing seldom something real
copied in Net beside the references.

Thanks! I knew about this way, but I wanted to get it easier since I have
the schema that hopefully could be used. Maybe I'm wrong or at least it's
not documented by Microsoft. I'll wait for a while then try to do that
manually.
