VB.NET Datagrid help

[tfinch2]

Sorry, I just started with .Net this week, and while the MSDN is great, I don't find it as accessable as the Java API docs yet, so I'm having a little trouble with the Datagrid control.

Is there a method like Datagrid.getColumnHeader(row) that returns a string with the column name? I'm reading in an XML file for example:

<item>
<date></date>
<idNum></idNum>
<name></name>
</item>

I want to read the headers because the tags might be out of order or one might be missing.

Thanks

Nobody? Is it possible to export the DataSet as an Access DB?

To get the column header, access the ColumnCollection ..

myGrid.Columns[0].HeaderText

Can't answer your question, I just recently started with .NET myself and I'm using C# anyway, but I just wanted to say;

Personally I think it's horrible compared to the Java docs, it's so damn slow to load pages, and it's so hard to find anything! Even when found it's sparse at best - half the error descriptions are like "this error indicates the operation has failed"... Gee thanks Bill.

Thanks for the help, but I decided though to walk through each XML instead though instead of just dumping it into a datagrid on XML auto read though. I want to have error handling in case the XML syntax is wrong.

I will know now though when I encounter datagrids sooner or later.
