Written for ASP developers, this book introduces the extensible markup language (XML) and its implementation in the .NET framework, focusing on implementations with ASP.NET. The authors describe XML schemas, XSLT, the MSXML parser, classes in the system.xml namespace, data access with ADO.NET, and the SQL server 2000. The final chapters provide sample code for an XML- based dynamic web page builder and a simple mobile device application. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
