Hi, Jim.

> I am using a web service that reports back the news. The return string is XML and is returned to a string variable. How would I write the XML to a file so I can put it into a dataset?

In order to write a string to a file, one way would look like this:

FileStream oFs = new FileStream("c:\folder\yourfile.xml",FileMode.CreateNew,FileAccess.ReadWrite);

StreamWriter oWriter = new StreamWriter(oFs);

oWriter.Write(youVariableWithXML);
oWriter.Flush();
oWriter.Close();
oFs.Close();

If you're using the XMLTextReader to read this XML, it might be a method that could do that as well, but I'm not sure about it.
