basic at pocket pc

[Steiner Hubert]

hello,
how can i import a xml file to a basic.net (pocket pc) dataset?

i use
Dim ds As New DataSet
ds.ReadXml(Me.txtImportFile.Text)

error: "FormatException"

any idea?

ReadXML needs a path to a file:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../frlrfsystemdatadatasetclassreadxmltopic2.asp

Have you got a full path in the textbox?

Cheers

hi,

Have you got a full path in the textbox?

Me.txtImportFile.Text="\temp\import.xml"

 

[Daniel Moth]

I'll take that as a "yes"

Are you sure you have a temp directory at the root and there is an
import.xml file in it? You can check before trying to open it:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ef/html/frlrfsystemiofileclassexiststopic.asp

If the file exists, can you post the content of it? Maybe it contains
invalid XML (a quick check is to try opening it in Internet Explorer)...

Cheers
Daniel

If import.xml is missed, DataSet.ReadXml will throw
FileNotFoundException. If import.xml exists but empty or has incorrect
XML structure, ReadXml throws XmlException.

I believe that one of your fields contains value with incorrect format.
Take a look at date format or floating point numbers. Maybe try to set
correct Locale value for this DataSet.

Can you provide import.xml that we could give you more information?
