Attempting to read XML string and getting error...

[Bryan Dickerson]

I'm still struggling with this XML stuff. I've gotten this far:

oSR = New System.IO.StringReader(oC.GetAllContacts(txCICust.Text,
txCIType.Text))
oXML.LoadXml(oSR.ReadToEnd)
sStr = "Found Contact Name:
".Concat(oXML.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("/Table/CI_NAME").Item(0).Value())

.... but I get an error on the LoadXml method that says: "Root element is
missing." What does that mean?

Depending on the type of XML you are reading, you might be able to read it easily with the dataset. See
if the dataset designer will create a schema from it.

Is oXML an XMLDocument? Could you maybe give a little bit of the
starting xml returned from oC? Probably what is happening, is you are
getting data such as

<data>...</...>
<data>...</...>
<data>...</...>

and to load it into a XMLDocument, there needs to be a higher up node such
as:

<group>
<data>...</...>
<data>...</...>
<data>...</...>
</group>

You add your own node to the beginning and end so that it is well formed if
this is the case. A sample would greatly help here! Hope this helps and
have a great day!

Yes, oXML is an XMLDocument and here is a bit of the XML:

<NewDataSet><Table><CI_NAME>BRYAN
DICKERSON</CI_NAME><CI_TITLE>PROGRAMMER</CI_TITLE>

.... </Table>

.... </NewDataSet>

I tried using a Dataset but couldn't figure that one out either. Where do I
start??

Load the XML file in the VS editor. Right click and create schema.

Note: This does not work well with all XML documents, but for those it works with it makes working
with them a lot easier.
