what I usualy do is the following: I add the XML into a dataset with the following:

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1. dim ds as New Dataset
2. ds.ReadXML("path+filename")

then all the data from your XML document is in a dataset.
Then you can re-write that XML document with the following:

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1. ds.WriteXML("path+filename")

Usually my XML/dataset structures aren't very complex so I have never really tried to execute queries on it, but I don't think that it's possible anyway. but to go through all the records you can just use a FOR loop ...

Line number On/Off

Code: Select all

1. For i as integer = 0 to ds.Tables(0).rows.count - 1
2. 'do something here
3. Next
