Summary


In this chapter, you explored many of the corners of the System.Xml namespace of the .NET Framework. You looked at how to read and write XML documents using the very fast XmlReader- and XmlWriter-based classes. You looked at how the DOM is implemented in .NET and how to use the power of DOM. You saw that XML and ADO.NET are indeed very closely related. A DataSet and an XML document are just two different views of the same underlying architecture. And, of course, you visited XPath and XSL Transforms.

Finally, you serialized objects to XML and were able to bring them back with just a couple of method calls.

XML will be an important part of your application development for years to come. The .NET Framework has made available a very rich and powerful tool set for working with XML. In Chapter 22, you look at how to handle files and the registry using C# classes.
