If I remove the first line of the text below, it will load. I am not an XML expert but from what I know, the first line doesn't seem to be a well formated xml node and that is why loading it into an XMLElement fails. So, other then removing the first line, any other ideas? If not, any good ideas on how to remove this line without me getting burned when ADO.net starts creating a different schema? So far, the best idea I have to remove the first line is search for the first ">" and parse from there. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <xs:schema id="DataSet1" targetNamespace="http://www.tempuri.org/DataSet1.xsd" xmlns:mstns="http://www.tempuri.org/DataSet1.xsd" xmlns="http://www.tempuri.org/DataSet1.xsd" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
