How export datatable to XML?

[VB Programmer]

I know you can do a WriteXml on a dataset. Is there an equivalent for a
datatable?

Thanks.

Nope - not in 1.1 - but there will be in 2.0:

DataTable.WriteXml:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/xbadk5ed.aspx
DataTable.ReadXml:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/fkefbt5d.aspx

In the meanwhile, you could create an empty dataset and add your datatable
to it. Then you can call WriteXml on the dataset to serialize it - just a
workaround.

hope that helps..

Hi,

You could do it only through the dataSet. If you need to save only one
DataTable, then you could create a copy of the DataSet, delete all other
tables from it and save DataSet into XML
