I am not sure I have the element for each column. The sample I found is not completely written (I guess it's because we don't write the whole invoke string). The sample I found was truncated at date_time value.

BTW, this is what I tried in the meantime and quick test seemed to work

string xml = @"<b_sched><BACKCOLOR>16496253</BACKCOLOR><BarIndex>1</BarIndex>
<BarKeyID>YEM918Z</BarKeyID><BARTYPE></BARTYPE><Base_ID>0</Base_ID>
<Booking_ID></Booking_ID><category>SNOWBOARD</category><CLIP_LOC></CLIP_LOC><CLIP_SP></CLIP_SP>
<Clipboard></Clipboard><CRITERIA1>0</CRITERIA1><CRITERIA2>false</CRITERIA2><CRITERIA3>false</CRITERIA3>
<CRITERIA4>0</CRITERIA4><CRITERIA5>0</CRITERIA5><CRITERIA6>0</CRITERIA6><CRITERIA7>2</CRITERIA7>
<Date_time>04/30/2013 16:59:00</Date_time></b_sched>";
			DataSet ds = new DataSet();
			ds.ReadXml(new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(xml)));
			
foreach (DataRow row in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{
	foreach (DataColumn column in ds.Tables[0].Columns)
	{
		Console.WriteLine (column.ColumnName + ":  " + row[column.ColumnName].ToString());	
	}
}
