ActiveReports 13
NodeList Property
Example 

GrapeCity.ActiveReports Assembly > GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data Namespace > XMLDataSource Class : NodeList Property
Gets or sets a reference to the XmlNodeList object that is the result of applying the XPath pattern provided in the RecordsetPattern property.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property NodeList As XmlNodeList
public XmlNodeList NodeList {get; set;}

Property Value

An XmlNodeList object.
Remarks
You can set the NodeList property to your own XmlNodeList object without setting the FileURL or RecordsetPattern.  This can be useful in subreports where the parent report sets the NodeList of the subreport data source from one of its fields (returned from the Field method as an XmlNodeList).
Example
Paste into the Detail Format event.
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.XMLDataSource xDS = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.XMLDataSource();
SectionReport1 rpt = new SectionReport1();

    xDS.ValidateOnParse = true;
    xDS.FileURL = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + " \\customer.xml";
    xDS.RecordsetPattern = "//ITEM";
    xDS.NodeList = (System.Xml.XmlNodeList)ds.Field("ITEM",true);
    this.Label1.Text = xDS.CurrentPosition;
    Console.WriteLine(xDS.Count.ToString());

    if (xDS.BOF && xDS.EOF)
    {
        return;
    }
Paste into the Detail Format event.
Dim xDS As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.XMLDataSource()
Dim rpt As New SectionReport1()

    xDS.ValidateOnParse = True
    xDS.FileURL = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + " \\customer.xml"
    xDS.RecordsetPattern = "//ITEM"
    xDS.NodeList = xDS.Field("ITEM", True)
    Me.Label1.Text = xDS.CurrentPosition
    Console.WriteLine(xDS.Count.ToString())

    If xDS.BOF & xDS.EOF Then
        Exit Sub
    End If
