In VFP8, you will be able to use the XMLAdapter class and read in DataSets that contain more than one table. VFP8 will turn all the tables into different cursors. Very cool!!

>>Sorry for the mis-understanding about what you were looking for. Here is the solution I think you are wanting. This takes a DataSet and provides a string that contains the schema information as well as the data in xml format.

>>>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.
