Convert XmlNode to DataSet

Here is a function that will enable you to pass a valid XML Node and have the system return you a DataSet object that you can use to manipulate further. Good bye nasty XML!

namespace FieldOfSheep
{
public static class NodeXmlExtension
    {
        public static DataSet ConvertToDataSet(this XmlNode node)
        {
            //declaring data set object
            DataSet dataset = null;
            if (node != null)
            {
                XmlTextReader xtr = new XmlTextReader(node.OuterXml, XmlNodeType.Element, null);
                dataset = new DataSet();
                dataset.ReadXml(xtr);
            }

            return dataset;
        }
    }
}

This class above is intended for use as an extension method to be used like so.

using FieldOfSheep;

public static void Main(String[] args)
{
   XmlNode node;

   DataSet ds = node.ConvertToDataSet();

}
