Summary

XML has a central role in the .NET Framework. ASP.NET developers, therefore, need to know how to capitalize on it and its related technologies, so that they can efficiently read, write, filter, merge, and display XML data in web applications. ASP.NET can handle XML from a wide range of sources, from local XML files to relational databases on remote servers. In this book, we'll examine how to access these sources, apply transformations to the data once we have it, and render that data for display. We'll also look at how to analyze the performance of our XML web applications to eliminate bottlenecks. Finally, we try out some of what we've learned in an e-commerce case study. Book jacket.
