.NET and XML
.NET & XML starts by introducing XML and the .NET Framework, and then teaches you how to read and write XML before moving on to complex methods for manipulating, navigating, transforming, and constraining it. To demonstrate the power of XML in .NET, author Niel Bornstein builds a simple hardware store inventory system throughout the book. As you move from chapter to chapter, you'll absorb increasingly complex information until you have enough knowledge to successfully program your own XML-based applications. This tutorial also contains a quick reference to the API, plus appendices present additional .NET assemblies that you can use to work with XML, and how to work with the .NET XML configuration file format. If you're seeking ways to build network-based applications or XML-based web services, Microsoft provides most of the tools you'll need. XML is integrated into the .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET.

Applied XML Programming
XML is buried everywhere in the Microsoft .NET Framework, but effective XML parsing and coding in .NET requires adjustment. This book describes the set of XML core classes in .NET, introduces the .NET XML parsing model and how to program against it, and discusses XML readers and writers and XMLDOM. It examines related technologies such as schemas, transformations, and XPath, and it discusses data issues such as synchronization and serialization, the DiffGram format, and the XML extensions in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. This Microsoft Press title also reveals how to get the best performance from XML with .NET, and it offers in-depth information on interoperability topics such as when to use XML Web services and when to use remoting. Explores the XML tools provided by the .NET framework, and XML programming within the .NET framework. The author begins with the key classes that implement XML in the .NET platform, XPath, and XML document object model.

Applied XML Solutions
Applied XML Solutions presents a series of projects rather than a tutorial format. The projects follow a natural progression from simple to complex. Within each chapter, helpful sidebars highlight XML fundamentals necessary to understand the project in progress. This will save readers' time having to look to another source if they forget a key detail. The last project incorporates techniques discussed throughout the book. The author will illustrate alternative solutions wherever appropriate. Applied XML Solutions shows professional developers how to apply XML to a variety of real-world applications, including: XML as a scripting substitute, using RSS to syndicate content to multiple & non-traditional browsers such as WAP-enabled handheld devices, using XSLT to facilitate communication between incompatible systems, separating web content from web code, importing data from various file formats.
