FlattenStructure Property (XmlDataProvider)

In This Topic

Gets or sets if the structure of the XML should be parsed as flat as possible. Without this setting, a structure like

<xml>
<Company>
  <Address>
    Buecklestr. 3-5
  </Address>
</Company>
</xml>

would trigger the creation of a "Company" table and a subordinate "Address" table in the data source. If you set this property to "true", you'll get a "Company" table and a string field "Address" within it.
