Part I Applied xml programming for ms .Net

This book explores the array of XML tools provided by the .NET Framework.
XML is everywhere in the .NET Framework, from remoting to Web services,
and from data access to configuration. In the first part of this book, you’ll find
in-depth coverage of the key classes that implement XML in the .NET plat-
form. Readers and writers, validation, and schemas are discussed with sam-
ples and reference information. Next the book moves on to XPath and XSL
Transformations (XSLT) and the .NET version of the XML Document Object
Model (XML DOM).
The final part of this book focuses on data access and interoperability and
touches on SQL Server 2000 and its XML extensions and .NET Remoting and its
cross-platform counterpart—XML Web services. You’ll also find a couple of chapters about XML configuration files and XML data islands and browser/
deployed managed controls.
