Hi everyone,

I get this error when I set DataRelation:
orderProductsRel.Nested = true;

gave me this error

I cannot proceed with serializing DataTable 'order details'. It contains a DataRow which has multiple parent rows on the same Foreign Key.

All of the code :
C#
SqlDataAdapter custAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from Customers",conn);
SqlDataAdapter orderAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from orders", conn);
SqlDataAdapter detailsAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from [order details]", conn);
SqlDataAdapter productsAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from Products",conn);

custAdapter.Fill(thisDataset, "Customers");
orderAdapter.Fill(thisDataset, "orders");
detailsAdapter.Fill(thisDataset, "order details");
productsAdapter.Fill(thisDataset, "Products");
//DataColumn d = new DataColumn();
//d.ColumnName ="orderID";
//d.DataType =(System .Type .st) sqlDbType .Text ;
DataRelation custOrderRel =
thisDataset.Relations.Add("custOrders",
thisDataset.Tables["Customers"].Columns["CustomerID"],
thisDataset.Tables["orders"].Columns["CustomerID"]);
custOrderRel.Nested = true;
DataRelation orderDetailRel = thisDataset.Relations.Add("OrderDetali",
thisDataset.Tables["orders"].Columns["orderID"],
thisDataset.Tables["order details"].Columns["orderID"]);
orderDetailRel.Nested = true;
DataRelation orderProductsRel= thisDataset.Relations.Add("OrderProducts",
                   thisDataset.Tables["Products"].Columns["ProductID"],
                   thisDataset.Tables["order details"].Columns["ProductID"]);
orderProductsRel.Nested = true;
thisDataset.WriteXmlSchema("c:\\wsc.xml");
thisDataset.WriteXml("c:\\s.xml");

I believe this has to do with when the dataset tries to serialize, it attempts to nest the children in the parents, and comes across an ambiguity with regards to who is the parent of the 'order details' rows. Meaning, if it has already nested the order details under the orders, then it cannot also nest it under the products. I would recommend setting the orderProductsRel.Nested = false;

ok i do
but if a relation in dataset add dynamic so
i don't konw what a last relation to set realtionname.Nested = false;

It is not because it is the last relationship added, it is because it is the one that is contradictory to the other relationships. If you allow for relationships to be dynamically added, then you will need to do a little validation to make sure that if the relationship is nested, then the specified child does not already have another parent in the Relations property.

yes thank im sorry
if i leave all relation.Nested = false;
there is any problem
in export to xml
and sorry for my English

By default, the Nested property is false. I have not had any problems serializing when this is the case. The serializer will simply write out each table individually without trying to nest the rows.
And no need to apologize about the English. :)

now i understand you
but order details gave me error because is parent rows on the same Foreign Key
but the Foreign Key on other column
1- ProductID
2- orderID
so how i can solve this
thnx for your time
