Hello everybody,
I am pretty new to datagridviews/datasets/etc. I do know xml however. My problem is this, I am currently trying to get my datagridview to display all the data inside an xml file. After about 8 hours of looking throughout google, I am more confused then ever. The common solution on alot of sites seemed to say I needed to run my xml file through a dataset.

What I have done so far is connected my dataset to my datagridview (that was almost effortless) as the datasource, but thats where I have hit a wall. I don't understand why it needs to be this complicated to pull data from an xml file with the same amount of nodes as a datagridview has columns....It's a simple table. Maybe somebody can explain this to me where I'm not going to be completely lost - either that or Im just majorly over thinking this....Either way I appreciate the help. So far all the tutorials I have done have done nothing but give me a mountain of errors or I have tried to make them work for the datagridview even though the tutorial was for a listview.

Thanks again guys and gals.
