Module 1: Introduction to XML in the .NET Framework
This module introduces the use of XML in the .NET Framework to help you solve common business problems. XML is
a standards-driven technology that is ideal for applications that use the Internet. Microsoft's implementation
of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards ensures that applications you develop with XML in .NET will successfully
communicate with other W3C-compatible applications
- Overview
- Course at a Glance
- Common Business Problems
- XML in the .NET Framework
Module 2: Parsing XML
This module discusses how to parse XML data from a file, string, or stream by using the XmlReader class. It also
covers how to use the XmlTextReader to process XML as text, and how to use the XmlNodeReader to filter data by
using an XPath expression and the object.
- Overview of XML Parsing
- Parsing XML Using XmlTextReader
- Creating a Custom Reader
Module 3: Validating XML
This module gives an overview of XML Schema Definition (XSD) data types, and then covers how to use the Microsoft
.NET Framework XML classes to perform XML schema validation. The lesson Advanced Validation teaches how to resolve
external entities, how to validate XML fragments, and how to validate XML by using a Document Type Definition (DTD).
- Examining Schemas
- Validating XML While Parsing
- Advanced Validation
Module 4: Writing XML
Writing XML is a central skill in developing XML-based applications. This module describes the .NET Framework classes
that are used to write XML with or without namespaces. The module also explains how to control the format and validity
of XML as it is being written.
- Overview of Generating XML Documents
- Writing XML
- Generating XML with Namespaces
- Controlling XML Format and Converting XML
Module 5: Querying XML
This module explains the process of querying an XML document by using XPath. It explains how to write code to load
an XML document, and how to create a navigation cursor by using an XPathNavigator object. It also explains how
to create your query by using an XPathDocument object, and how to examine the result types. In addition, this module
describes how to compile your query and evaluate your results.
- Introduction to Querying XML Using XPath
- Creating and Navigating a Document Cache
- Executing Your Query
Module 6: Manipulating Cached XML
This module introduces the XML Document Object Model (XML DOM) and explains how to locate and manipulate XML by
using the DOM.
- Introduction to the XML Document Object Model
- Navigating XML Using the DOM
- Creating New Nodes
- Modifying and Deleting Nodes
Module 7: Transforming XML
This module explains the process of transforming XML documents. The module teaches the student how to apply an
XSLT transformation to an XML document by using the .NET XML classes. It does not teach XSLT syntax or commands.
- Introduction to Transforming XML
- Programming the XslTransform Class
- Extending XSLT Style Sheets
Module 8: Serializing Objects as XML
This module provides students with the skills needed to create XML documents from the data contained within programmatic
objects. This process is referred to as serialization and can be used to persist object data or to share object
data between applications.
- Introduction to XML Serialization
- Serializing Objects Using XmlSerializer
- Controlling XML Serialization
