Hi,

Try something like this.

Dim ds As New DataSet

ds.ReadXml("C:\temp.xml")

DataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)

Hello,

Is it possible to display an existing xml file in a datagrid?

Thanks
 
Ish,

That depends of that XML file is a dataset (Or has the same format, that is
easy to see, when there are attributes it is not a normal dataset has only
elements).

when there are attributes it is not. A normal dataset has only elements.
 
Hi Cor,

I really don't get what you are trying to say. I am very new to the .Net
environment.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for you prompt reply, how would i display the same xml file is a
textbox?

Thanks....
 
Ish,

Telling that a file is a xml file is says not much, the way that it is used
tells more.

One of the formats is the dataset. When the code from Ken shows your XML
file in a datagrid than it is a dataset.

Than you can use databinding.

textbox1.DataBindings.Add(New Binding("Text", dataset1.Tables(0),
"LastName"))

I hope this helps?

Hi,

Try something like this.

With TextBox1

..Text = ds.GetXml

..Multiline = True

..ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Both

..Height = 200

End With
