You can use Dataset.ReadXml.

i tried with that and got an error 'Illegal characters in path.', and please check with the xml structure that i have given. so i the dataset the values will be like this statiid custNo status value --------- ------ ------ ----- 1 A1258 1 not found and to your knowledge the xml data is in a string variable in this format. thanks & regards karthi
