Hi Anand, Thanks for the link. it works. Below is the code. Here I need to specify all the Columns, but in my XML Collection, columns are not fixed. Is there any way I can load all the available columns, without specifying the column names.

Shafiul Alam 16-Mar-15 3:23am

Dim dt As New DataTable()
dt.Columns.Add("FirstName", GetType(String))
dt.Columns.Add("LastName", GetType(String))
dt.Columns.Add("UserName", GetType(String))
dt.Columns.Add("Role", GetType(String))
Dim xmldoc As New XmlDocument()
xmldoc.Load("C:\Users\Shafiul Alam\Desktop\SampleXML.xml")
Dim nodeList As XmlNodeList = xmldoc.SelectNodes("/users/user")
For Each node As XmlNode In nodeList
Dim dtrow As DataRow = dt.NewRow()
dtrow("FirstName") = node("FirstName").InnerText
dtrow("LastName") = node("LastName").InnerText
dtrow("UserName") = node("UserName").InnerText
dtrow("Role") = node("Job")("Role").InnerText
dt.Rows.Add(dtrow)
Next

C#

//Yes you can pls see the following c# code I am not that much aware of VB
//use dataSet and assign load xml file to dataset from there you can bind to your gv as //you did in your QUS that can work..

/// <summary>
/// Bind xml data to datalist
/// </summary>
private void BindDatalist()
{
XmlTextReader xmlreader = new XmlTextReader(Server.MapPath("Sample.xml"));
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml(xmlreader);
xmlreader.Close();
if (ds.Tables.Count != 0)
{
dlComments.DataSource = ds;
dlComments.DataBind();
}
else
{
dlComments.DataSource = null;
dlComments.DataBind();
}
}

Instead of adding new solution Use 'Improve soulution link' to update your existing solution.

Hi Anand,

Apology, if I miss something. Its says DataBind is not a property of DataGridView. I was using Below instead. a msg popup after one table loaded and ten next and then next. Please help me to load the entire thing at once.

Dim xmlreader As New XmlTextReader("E:\New folder\Desktop\Desktop\TEST FILE\TEST FILE\Testing XML Files_V19.Sep\4578279_FMRepProdOrder_WMB_GMC20131113 212209.191821.xml")
Dim ds As New DataSet()
ds.ReadXml(xmlreader)
''xmlreader.Close()

For i = 0 To ds.Tables.Count - 1
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables(i)
MsgBox("Table Loaded")
Next

Please check it dataset tables count once? xml file contains table and multiple rows & columns.
your code will shows the multiple DVGs if you have more tables in dataset.
