    string fileName = "CorporationA_Schema.xml";
    thisDataSet.ReadXmlSchema(fileName);
    fileName = "DivisionA_Report.xml";
    thisDataSet.ReadXml(fileName);
}
Private Sub ReadData(thisDataSet As DataSet)
    thisDataSet.Namespace = "CorporationA"
    thisDataSet.Prefix = "DivisionA"

    ' Read schema and data.
    Dim fileName As String = "CorporationA_Schema.xml"
    thisDataSet.ReadXmlSchema(fileName)
    fileName = "DivisionA_Report.xml"
    thisDataSet.ReadXml(fileName)
