Importing XML
You can select XML as
a file type in the dialog box that displays when you select Rows>Import
in the DataWindow painter. (The Preview view must be open to enable the
Rows>Import menu item.)
You can also import data from an XML document or string using
the ImportFile, ImportString,
or ImportClipboard methods. These methods have
an optional first parameter that enables you to specify the type
of data to be imported.
Data can be imported with or without a template. To import
data without a template, the data must correspond to the DataWindow column
definition. The text content of the XML elements must match the
column order, column type, and validation requirements of the DataWindow columns.
Composite, OLE, and Graph DataWindow objects
Composite, OLE, and Graph DataWindow objects cannot be imported using
a template. You must use the default format. Graph controls must
also be imported using the default format.
