Answer 1

How about using DataSet.Read()?

or,

// Create the document.
        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(file);

        // Loop through all the nodes, and create the list of Product objects .
        List products = new List();

        foreach (XmlElement element in doc.DocumentElement.ChildNodes)
        {
            Product newProduct = new Product();
            newProduct.ID = Int32.Parse(element.GetAttribute("ID"));
            newProduct.Name = element.GetAttribute("Name");

            // If there were more than one child node, you would probably use
            // another For Each loop here and move through the
            // Element.ChildNodes collection.
            newProduct.Price = Decimal.Parse(element.ChildNodes[0].InnerText);

            products.Add(newProduct);
        }
