Why XML and ASP.NET?

only for RuBoard

The combination of XML and ASP.NET yields an amazingly broad range of possibilities. .NET heavily utilizes XML, as you will see throughout this book ( especially in Chapter 7, "ASP.NET Extensibility with XML"). Complex web pages can be designed to present a rich user experience with minimal amounts of code by using XML data from various sources. XSLT transformations can be applied to XML data to provide HTML, WML, or a host of other formats. XML Schemas can validate XML data that is shared between organizations, and XML Web Services provide an XML-based messaging system between organizations.

XML is about data, and ASP.NET is about the manipulation and presentation of data.
