KbAlertz.com (http://www.kbalertz.com) provides many different categories of XML feeds containing Microsoft Knowledge base articles (see http://www.kbalertz.com/webmaster). The XML is created on the site by serializing a DataSet to XML. This makes loading the XML into a DataSet on a consuming site a simple process.

This example shows how to create an ASP.NET User Control that consumes the remote data located on the KbAlertz.com site by using the ReadXml() method of the DataSet class. Once the DataSet is loaded, a filtering operation is performed using a DataView so that only data related to XML and Web Service topics is contained in the view. This view is then bound to a DataList object.
