Hi Franco,

You can also use the VFP XMLAdapter class. It allows you more control of the output of the XML and the ability to work with multiple tables. I wrote an article about it a while ago in Code Magazine. Here is the link:

http://www.code-magazine.com/Article.aspx?quickid=0301092

When you need to take the string and turn it into a .NET DataSet, you use the ReadXml method of the DataSet. Here is an example:

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
// cXML is the string of XML to read
ds.ReadXml(New StringReader(cXML));

Once you have the data into a DataSet, you can create either create a DataAdapter to connect to SQL Server and update from the DataSet, or manually read each record in the DataTable and perform the updates, using the SqlCommmand object.
