David I looked into XmlWriter class. The problem is writing the complete dataset individually by adding elements and its attributes. Criteria has a about 10 columns that I did not specify in the mail. If I were to use XmlWriter then I would have to append every single column as an element. But the datasource's writeXml method takes care of everything. Would you happen to know how I can create a document fragment and somehow use ds.WriteXml("Filename") method Thanks!!! Rekha
