In the first section, you will explore the basic XML DOM. This includes loading, storing, adding nodes, elements, and attributes. The second section deals with the various XmlReader-derived classes along with conversion of XML types. The third section is about the use of XPath to location elements within an XML document. XPath is a very powerful search feature and we'll cover its varied usage. The fourth section introduces the XPathDocument and XSLT transformations. The ability to transform data from one XML document to another is a need commonly encountered in B2B applications.
