Sortinga DATASET after it has been populated from an XML file (VB.NET)

[yablonka]

I'm trying to sort a dataset after I populated it with data using the readxml method.

 

Example: If my XML file looks something like this:

 

<request>

<firstname>First_Name</firstname>

<lastname>Last_Name</lastname>

<dateofbirth>2/10/1979</dateofbirth>

<address>

<street>Street_Name</street>

<zipcode>78212</zipcode>

</address>

</request>

<request>

.

.

.

 

 

I want the records to be sorted by "dateofbirth".

 

Thank you.

You don't sort DataSets, you sort DataTables and DataViews. To do this just set the sort property to "dataofbirth".

ie.

myDataSet.Tables("myTableName").DefaultView.Sort = "dateofbirth"
