Hi,

I have to load xml data via http for some function calls. Using
different providers, this data must be represented in objects of the
same type for my client (web) application to be used. I am using VS
2005.

I thought about using typed datasets as data objects, so I would
generate xsds for those. Ideally, I would like to easily map the XML
fields of the providers to the datasets. I guess I have to use xslt
for this translation, or is there a better way?

I am thankful for any hint on this, espacially if there is a much
easier way than xml -> xslt -> (xsd ->) dataset.

Regards
DC

You may want to look at this approach:

http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/adonet_source_code_generator.asp

Download that code sample and review the way it uses custom attributes
to dynamically map a DataTable to a custom class set of properties.
You could use the same approach with your xml documents.
