Hi Stephane,

I saw your original question over on the VFP forum earlier today and I was trying to figure out exactly how to go about doing this. I didn't come up with anything elegant, so I gave up on it and decided not to reply to your question, since I didn't have a complete answer. But, I'm sure what you're looking for is the WriteXML() method.

The DataSet.WriteXML() method has a means of writing an inline schema along with your data, and it has many overrides to write the XML in various formats (a file, a stream, etc) but unfortunately not a string (seems silly to me to have left this one out). I spent some time trying to figure out how to easily convert say, a stream, to a string but couldn't figure out how. I'm sorry I couldn't spend more time on trying to figure it out, but if you weren't already aware of the WriteXML() method, maybe this might point you in the right direction.

Maybe Cathi will jump in here to save the day with sample code (as she usually does).

>Does anybody knows how to Create an inline XSD from a dataset. i can create the schema using DataSet.GetXmlSchema() and the XML with DataSet.GetXml() but how do i combine the two ?
