datatable write to xml file - visual studio 2003

hi
can anybody pls help me?
i am trying to write a datatable to xml file
in visual studio 2005 it goes like this:
datatable dt = new datatable();
dt.writexml(saveFileDialog1.FileName);

in visual studio 2003 dt doesn'n have this property "writexml"

how do i do it?

You can stick it in a DataSet and call the writexml on the dataset. You can
then strip out the elements you don't need (or leave them in depending on
how they'll affect your app).

Orr,

dataset ds = new dataset();
> datatable dt = new datatable();
ds.Add(dt);
> ds.writexml(saveFileDialog1.FileName);

The result is the same as in 2005 this is done automatic there.

I hope this helps,

Cor

small correction.

ds.tables.Add(dt);
