I am trying to create a VB.NET front end for an XML file I have access to.

XML File Example:

<Item>

<Name> name </Name>

<Description> details </Description>

<MoreInfo> more details </MoreInfo>

</Item>

The XML file its self may change but will not get updated very often and will not grow very much.

I am very familar with creating VB front-end's for MS Access Databases use OLEDB Connections and Datasets and moving through records...

Is there a way to open the XML file, bind different nodes(Name, Desc. MoreInfo) to different textbox controls and navigate through records (items) the way you can when using MS Access?

Not looking for someone to write it for me, but if you can point me in the right direction!

I found a lot of articles for loading the data into a datagrid, but that isn't helping or I am missing a point somewhere...

Thanks-

Tony

The easiest way to do this is load the XML file in a DataSet and then bind to the DataSet.

Look at the DataSet.ReadXML method to load the XML file.

Then you can bind controls or datagrid to dataset.
