When using the writexml feature of the dataset is there a way to specifiy
which tables are written to the XML file or do I have to write all tables in
the dataset to the file?

I realize I could just copy to another dataset but am concerned about memory
usage when duplicating data in memory.

Thanks,

Hi eXtreme,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, for this issue, I think we can remove the unwanted datatable
references from the dataset, then invoke DataSet.WriteXml to serialize the
dataset to the xml with expected tables. At last, we can re-add the removed
DataTable references back to the DataSet.

Note: because we are only remove/add DataTable references, there will not
be much performance hit.

Hope this helps
