Hi guys, Im currently trying to write the contents of my database table to an XML file. This can be done, however what I am trying to achieve is to display the information in a datagrid view, allow the user alter or add any records, and then be able to write out the contents of the database table, to an XML file.

Any Ideas?

Would be much appreciated

Please see this article
http://www.dotnetheaven.com/uploadfile/prathore/datagridview09122007013411am/datagridview.aspx[^]
in which it is shown how to display the data in a DataGridView from an XML file.
Now, after making the modifications to the data and / or adding new data in the DataGridView, the following code can be used to write the data back to the XML file on disk for the file name referred to in the above article

C#

xmlDatadoc.DataSet.WriteXml(Application.StartupPath + "\\books.xml");
