I am new to XML and .NET and am trying to set up a way to pass information
between some VB.NET applications using XML files. Based on some articles I
found I believe I need to read the XML into a dataset and work with it in
that form. My XML sample file has what I think should create two tables with
a relation but I'd like to know exactly what is in the dataset after I read
the XML file. I want to be able to see what tables were created and what
fields are defined for each table. My XML test file is listed below. I am
using the code here to load the XML data. Any pointers to relevant articles
will be appreciated.

===============  code  =====================
Private Sub btnImportXML_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnImportXML.Click

' Instantiate the DataSet variable.

Dim dsImportXML As DataSet

dsImportXML = New DataSet

dsImportXML.ReadXml("c:\temp\contest.xml")

' At this point I'd like to be able to see what is in the dataset?

End Sub

=========================================

============== XML Data ===================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
