Hello Everybody,
In the Dataset,some columns are empty.I want those columns in the output XMl.I am using Dataset.getxml() and Loadxml to convert it in to xml document.
Please suggest me if you have any solution of this problem..

Example:
Consider my dataset is as below:
<firstname>SUGATO</firstname>
<middlename></middlename>
<lastname>PAL</lastname>

If i use dataset.getxml then i will get

<firstname>SUGATO</firstname>
<lastname>PAL</lastname>

the output xml will miss <middlename></middlename> node.
I want this <middlename> also in my output xml

Appreciate your Help.

Solution 1

The

Dataset.GetXML()

returns string. You can apply to your condition something like this.

if (ds.GetXml() != string.Empty) {
   //do your code here...
}
else {
   //ignore
}
