Hi all,
I'm writing an easy app to see a list of questions and answers, a sort of local app for tablet/phone/pc to see some, defined and immutable, FAQs that I would like to works without network support.
I would like to load a local dataset from local data that I have in json format setted in my app.
How can I get the json string from a local file to use in myDataset.LoadRows() method?
Thanks in advance.

That's a big question. How is the app going to get to the device? If
the user will open the page one time from a server, then the app can
get the content from a file on the server, and store it in
LocalStorage. It can then use that stored data any time it wants, and
never has to go back to the server.

That's the easy way, if you are loading from the web. If not, then you
are talking PhoneGap or some other custom server... More details needed
if that is the case.

Hi,
If the JSON is fixed, why not hard code it in a variable, tstringlist or a invisible memo?

myDataset.LoadRows(MultiLineEdit1.Lines)

Please see the DataBound example project for more information on how to do this.
