Question

I have been following this article to read an XML file into a datagridview control.

I am posting the relevant piece of code here.

string filePath = "Complete path where you saved the XML file";
dsAuthors.ReadXml(filePath);
dataGrid1.DataSource = dsAuthors;
dataGrid1.DataMember = "authors";
dataGrid1.CaptionText = dataGrid1.DataMember;

Now I want to be able to read any XML file without knowing the elements of the XML file, but the above method requires me to declare the dataGrid1.DataMember = "authors"; which in case of random XML file, I will not know.

Thanks,

Abijeet.

With a little luck the following property has been filled:

dataGrid1.DataMember = dsAuthors.Tables[0].Tablename;
