Thanks, Morgan, but my first thought is that this approach will not result in a well-formed document. The inline schema should be placed *within* the document, not prepended to it.

>>DataSet.GetXML() does a fine job of extracting the contents of a DataSet as an XML stream, but I'd like that extracted XML to include an inline schema. There doesn't seem to be an overload for GetXML() that allows you to do this, and it would seem that this should be do-able.
