• .NET Development Converting XML to string whilst including the schema.

  Hi, How do I convert a DataSet to an XML string INCLUDING the schema information and store it into a string variable in memory I can't use the DataSet GetXml() function (no schema) and instead think I have to use the DataSet WriteXml() function, ensuring that the XmlWriteMode value passed in is set to 'WriteSchema'.

I've made sure both the buttons and the tablelayoutpanel access modifiers are protected, but the IDE still won't let me edit the properties of any of the inherited buttons. Interestingly, if I put a button on the form directly (not in a tablelayoutp ...Show All
