Bob,

    Why not do this. Get the schema for the XML and then run the XSD.exe
tool against it. This will create a C# file which is a class (which might
derive from DataSet if you say so) that you can compile in your app. Then,
you can use the ReadXml method on the DataSet (if you choose to have your
class derive from that), or the Deserialize method on the XmlSerializer
class to deserialize an instance of the class in your app.

    Once you have that, you can do anything you want with the class, or have
a containing class use it for whatever purposes you wish.

    Hope this helps.
