TVirtualTable loading metadata from xml

Hi,

I'm trying to load http://www.andrewpatton.com/countrylist.xml into a TVirtualTable but nothing seems to happen? I would expect the "Load from file" function (using a XML file) to load the metadata and the data.

Am I wrong assuming that?

I also tried to explicitly add Col0 - Col13 and then load the XML file, which effectively removed the explicitly defined columns.

Please advise.

kind regards,
Jan

You should create dummy field and data value and
save it as virtualtable.savetoXML('temp.xml') and see the
actual xml format inside if you want to load xml data created
from other source not using virtualtable.

To load file into the VirtualTable, a file should be in an XML document in ADO-compatible format or in virtual table data format.

I couldn't load the file that your specified, but I think that its format is not supported.

Where can we find info on the XML ADO-Compatible format? I tried a google search but it led me nowhere.
