Features: In the Microsoft .NET Framework, XML is ubiquitous, from remotization to web services, from data access to configuration. This book provides an in-depth understanding of the numerous XML core classes in .NET, teaches programming with parsers, and is written by renowned experts in Microsoft ASP.NET and Microsoft ADO.NET and other cutting-edge technologies. Here, you will find authoritative explanations of technologies such as XML Schema, XML Transformation, and XPath, as well as extensive discussions on data access issues like synchronization and serialization, DiffGram format, and XML extensions in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. You can learn how to achieve optimal performance with XML in .NET and get answers to common questions like "When should you use XML web services instead of remotization?"
