populate gridview from xml

I have GridView mGridView with 3 columns - Process, Description and Type. I have xml with the content like this:

<root>
   <Rows>
     <Row Name="fdf" Description="dfaf" Type="A" >
     </Row>
     <Row Name="Sff" />
     <Row Name="XYZ" Type="PH">
     </Row>
   </Rows> 
</root>

where there are 3 Attributes (Name, Description and Type) and they are not obligatory. How to make the DataSource of mGridView to be this xml and every mGridViev Row to be filled with the 3 values of the tree atributes in the Row from the xml?

If I understand your task properly, the following code with your xml file works fine:

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        ds.ReadXml(@"XMLFile1.xml");
        gridControl1.DataSource = ds.Tables[1];
        gridView1.PopulateColumns();
    }

Please also try to call the gridView's PopulateColumns method. Does this help?
