Question

Hi, I am reading RSS from a URL and writing it in xml. Uptil here it works fine. Now I want to display the data from xml in a dataGridView.  How can I accomplish this. Please help.(This is my first time working with dataGridView. Also how do I bind dataDridView to xml?)

string str = txtUrl.Text;
System.Xml.XmlDocument XMLDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();

XMLDoc.Load("http://address.rss");
            XMLDoc.Load(str);
            NameTable table = new NameTable();
            XmlNamespaceManager nsManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(table);

            nsManager.AddNamespace("rdf", "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#");
            nsManager.AddNamespace("item", "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/");
            nsManager.AddNamespace("dc", "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/");
            System.Xml.XmlNodeList XMLItems = XMLDoc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("//rdf:RDF/item:item", nsManager);

foreach (XmlNode currentItem in XMLItems)
            {
                // get the date
                this.richTextBox2.Text += "Date: " + currentItem.SelectSingleNode("dc:date", nsManager).InnerText + Environment.NewLine;
                // get the title and the link
                this.richTextBox2.Text += "Title: " + currentItem.SelectSingleNode("item:title", nsManager).InnerText + " - ";
                this.richTextBox2.Text += currentItem.SelectSingleNode("item:link", nsManager).InnerText + Environment.NewLine;

                // get the description
                this.richTextBox2.Text += "Description: " + currentItem.SelectSingleNode("item:description", nsManager).InnerText + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;

                this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;

That covers how to populate a DataGridView from XML.

Hope  this helps.
