Hi, 


I"m getting this error when trying to load an XML document from a third party. I don't have the option of asking them to rename anything. Here's what i'm trying to accomplish.


	DataSet _ds = new DataSet();


	_ds.ReadXml(URL, XmlReadMode.InferSchema);


I tried InferSchema, IgnoreSchema and, of course, Auto.


I got the same error w/ Infer as Auto (above). With Ignore, I got an empty DataSet. 


Please help!!!


Thanks,


kyle.

Get that url, and dump it to the browser.  It seems like it's not meant to be loaded into a dataset.  Or it's not formed properly.


You might have to use the xml dom for this one.

it's formed correctly according to the XML 1.0 standards... you are allowed to have nested tables... however, MS does'nt support it... i got confirmation of that yesterday... they say they will support it w/ Whidbey


thanks for the reply though... i'm looking into other options

nested tables is fine, but if you look at your original post, it leaves a lot to the imagination on what the problem could be.  You might want to consider using a stylesheet to transform the xml to a more appropriate schema for a dataset/datatable.  That might be a good option for you.
