Hi
Im reading a xml data from webservice and while loading it into datatable im getting an error
" Column name id is defined for different mapping types"

XML

<Country id="350" identifier="Montenegro">
    <id>350</id>

    <client id="0" entity-name="ADClient" identifier="System"/>
    <organization id="0" entity-name="Organization" identifier="*"/>
    <active>true</active>
    <creationDate transient="true">2013-01-30T07:35:18.545Z</creationDate>
    <createdBy transient="true" id="0" entity-name="ADUser" identifier="System"/>
    <updated transient="true">2013-01-30T07:35:18.545Z</updated>
    <updatedBy transient="true" id="0" entity-name="ADUser" identifier="System"/>
    <name>Montenegro</name>
    <description>Montenegro</description>
    <iSOCountryCode>ME</iSOCountryCode>
    <hasRegions>false</hasRegions>
    <regionName>State</regionName>
    <phoneNoFormat xsi:nil="true"/>
    <addressPrintFormat>@C@,  @P@</addressPrintFormat>
    <postalCodeFormat xsi:nil="true"/>
    <additionalPostalCode>false</additionalPostalCode>
    <additionalPostalFormat xsi:nil="true"/>
    <default>false</default>
    <language xsi:nil="true"/>
    <currency id="102" entity-name="Currency" identifier="EUR"/>
    <iBANLength>22</iBANLength>
    <iBANCode>ME</iBANCode>
    <decimalseparator xsi:nil="true"/>
    <groupingseparator xsi:nil="true"/>
    <numericmask xsi:nil="true"/>
    <dateformat xsi:nil="true"/>
    <datetimeformat xsi:nil="true"/>
    <countryTrlList/>
    <regionList/>
  </Country>

Since id is used both as attribute and element,ther is a conflict between the name id.. How can i rename it or resolve it ....i cannot the change the webservice since i dont ve access to it

the code m using to load the datatable is

Java

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
  using (var client = new WebClient { Credentials =new NetworkCredential("Username","Password") })
            {
               string  result = client.DownloadString(uri);
               XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(result));
               dt.ReadXml(reader);
              return dsGetValues;
            }

Thanks

Try this

static void Main(string[] args)
{
   DataSet ds = new DataSet();
   ds.EnforceConstraints = false;
   ds.ReadXmlSchema("XMLSchema1.xsd");
   XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader("XMLFile1.xml");
   ds.ReadXml(reader);
}

I have saved your xml in file named "XMLFile1.xml" and created XSD named "XMLSchema1.xsd". Below is the content of XSD. Hoping this should solve your problem.
