Datalist databinding using XML

Question

Hello Everyone,

I am using a datalist to display data obtained using a RSS feed.
However, the list obtained seems to be quite long and it does not look good to have
so many items on a single page. Is there a way I can limit the number of entries shown? Or is paging possible here? I looked at the article for paging on a datalist
however, I am unable to 'work' on the data as it comes through RSS feed.

Any suggestions / help is welcome.

Thank you all in anticipation.

Regards,
siddy_17

string myXMLfile = @"C:\MySchema.xml";
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    // Create new FileStream with which to read the schema.
    System.IO.FileStream fsReadXml = new System.IO.FileStream 
        (myXMLfile, System.IO.FileMode.Open);
    try
    {
        ds.ReadXml(fsReadXml);
        datalist.DataSource = ds;
       
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
	MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
    }

Hope this can help you.
