Is it possible to parse a hierarchical XML file and bind it to Virtual Tree, like the 'ADO.NET Dataset Browser' example.

Sample code is appreciated - (VS2008 - C#)

Yes - ADO.NET Datasets support reading data from hierarchical XML. So you can simply read the data into a dataset and then bind to the dataset. See this MSDN article on reading XML data into Datasets:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fx29c3yd(VS.71).aspx

If you create a Dataset upfront using the dataset designer that matches your XML schema then you can bind to the dataset at design time (just like the ADO.NET Dataset Browser sample). If you use the DataSet.ReadXml methods ability to dynamically create the Dataset (based on an inferred schema) then you will need to create the Virtual Tree bindings at runtime.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm going to try.

I use the DataSet.ReadXml methods ability. I do not understand how create the Virtual Tree bindings at runtime.

Actually if your schema is fixed (ie you know what the table and column names will be) then you can just create the bindings in the designer as described in the help section "Data Binding to ADO.NET Datasets and DataViews".

If you do want or need to create the bindings programmatically then you need to do something like the following example which would bind Virtual Tree to the customer table in the DataSet sample project:

It worked.

Many thanks !
