Class Reference
In the .NET framework, XML is very important. It serves as the foundation for many of the .NET technologies. Database access is XML based in ADO.NET. Remote interoperability, known as XML Web services or SOAP, is also XML based. It is true that many of the implementation details of XML are hidden inside objects or inside the Visual Studio .NET development environment. But for tasks such as debugging, interoperability with other platforms, performance analysis, and your own peace of mind, it still makes sense for you as a .NET developer to have a handle on what XML is, how it works, and how it is implemented in the .NET framework. This chapter will help with that objective.
