XML is buried everywhere in the Microsoft .NET Framework, but effective XML parsing and coding in .NET requires adjustment. Applied XML Programming for Microsoft .NET 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 ServerT 2000. This Microsoft Pressr 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.
