DataSet.GetXml Method
System.Data Namespace DataSet Class
Returns the XML representation of the data stored in the DataSet.
[ VB ] Public Function GetXml ( ) As String [ C# ] public String GetXml ( ); [ C++ ] public: String* GetXml ( ); [ JScript ] public function GetXml ( ) : String;
Return Value
String that is a representation of the data stored in the DataSet.
Remarks
If the DataSet has changes, calling this method is identical to calling WriteXml with XmlWriteMode set to DiffGram; otherwise it is equivalent to calling WriteXml with XmlWriteMode set to IgnoreSchema.
NOTE: GetXml returns XML as a string, and therefore, requires more overhead than using WriteXml to write XML to a file.
