What happens when you do read it into a dataset?

myfusion 24-Sep-12 8:07am

below exception error occur when read into dataset

cannot add a nested relation or an element column to a table containing a simple content column

I.explore.code 24-Sep-12 8:17am

is it due to the fact that you've got Title as a parent tag and Title as sub-tags as well? Try renaming the parent tags, for e.g. "ParentTitle"...

myfusion 24-Sep-12 8:19am

any other solution...
this xml is generating dynamically so i dnt know how much nesting will be there

This works:

C#

[Serializable]
public class Bookmark
{
    [XmlElement(ElementName="Title")]
    public List<Title> TitleCollection { get; set; }
}

[Serializable]
public class Title
{
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Action { get; set; }
    [XmlText]
    public string Value { get; set; }
    [XmlElement("Title")]
    public List<Title> TitleSubCollection { get; set; }
}

Edit: Tested serializing and deserializing your xml, and it worked. Hope this in turn will help you to load it into a DataSet.
