The XML file is created in .Net with XML serialization. It would be easy to bring in back to .Net with XML deserialization, but the problem is that at need to import it to a Win32 application. The .Net application uses Arraylist objects which does not exist in win32. The XML file consists of customers, each customers has one to many orders and each order has one to many order items. Which is the easiest way to import this to Delphi win32. /Broeden Back to top Trevor de Koekkoek Guest Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 5:24 pm    Post subject: Re: Import XML structure If the XML is a .NET dataset, use the GekkoDotNetDataSet component in Delphi to read it: http://www.gekko-software.nl/DotNet/Art08.htm Otherwise, you can do 1 of two things(well there are others, but for simplicity): Use XML Mapper utility to map one XML schema into a Delphi ClientDataSet, or alternatively import the schema using the XML databinding wizard. This will allow you to create a custom class that reads and writes from the XML data file. -Trevor "Broeden" <hihansson (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Does anyone know of a good method to import a XML file into Delphi win32.

I have now used the XML Mapper to make transformation files. No big problems. I can now get my XML-file into a clientdataset. But now the problem is that I don't know how to programmatically reach the nested datasets (e.g. orders and order items) that pops up in new windows when double-clicking the "Dataset" fields.

That field has a DataSet property on it. So if you can access the field, then you should be able to access the dataset. Having said that, unless you really need datasets in your application, the databinding wizard might be a better approach because then you are accessing xml nodes by named properties, which makes for a more intuitive, less error-prone approach than using datasets. -Trevor "Broeden" <hihansson (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Thanks for your help, it got me on the road..

I think you are right. Data binding is probably a better method. I have now imported the XML-file via data binding. But now is the next problem to update the XML-file that is modified in Delphi. I can't find any appropriate method for saving to a XML file in the data binding file. Any ideas?
