simple(?) xml/xsl problem with xml from sql query

[dSchwartz]

I'm creating xml files from a dataset:
myDataSet.WriteXml(m_XmlFile, XmlWriteMode.IgnoreSchema);

and saving them to disk. Then i want to use the Xml control to format
this xml with xsl stylesheet. here is part of my xml file created by
the line above:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<NewDataSet>
<articles>
<XML_F52E2B61-18A1-11d1-B105-0080F4...>
<sm_articles article_id="2" article_title="xxxx" ... />
<sm_articles article_id="3" article_title="yyyy" ... />
</XML_F52E.......>
</articles>
</NewDataSet>

Now in my xslt i can do a for-each select="//articles" and it will
give me one item, but i'm not able to get past the <XML_.... tag. If
i try select="//sm_articles" i don't get errors, like its returning an
empty node.

so my question is what is the <XML_.... tag all about and how do i get
past it? If i manually take that tag out then my Xml control works
fine with my xsl stylesheet, but i have to build these xml files on
the fly from sql server.

Thanks for your time!

Where are you getting the XML in the DataSet from? That looks like the
column header that is returned when you run a FOR XML Query.
