I'm trying to turn the xml below into a dataset / datatable so I can display it in a gridview but it's returning 0 tables?  Anythoughts?

Hello：）

I think you should simplify your root tag to only one，and you can use DataSet.ReadXml to import the whole xml contents into a DataTable by referring its public property of——DataSet.Tables[0]，please check this out：

<configuration>
  <user>
    <name>joeuser</name>
    <uid>2001</uid>
    <class>xyz</class>
    <authentication>askldjfc;acmealsiefja;flcnsdlkm</authentication>
  </user>
  <user>
    <name>bobuser</name>
    <uid>2002</uid>
    <class>xyz</class>
    <authentication>your value2</authentication>
  </user>
  <user>
    <name>joeuser</name>
    <uid>2002</uid>
    <class>xyz</class>
    <authentication>your value3</authentication>
  </user>
</configuration>

And here's your code contents：

DataSet ds = new DataSet()
ds.ReadXml("c:\\xxx.xml")

'fetch the DataTable instance to be used anyway……

ds.Tables(0)
