Synopsis

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)

About this title

From the Publisher

XML and ASP.NET is an excellent and comprehensive resource that provides serious ASP.NET developers the knowledge and tools needed to build XML applications and Web Services with ASP.NET. It covers a wide range of technologies including MSXML, WAP, WML, Schemas, ADO.NET, SQLXML, DOM, SAX, and XSLT. As an implementation book, the reader is provided with lots of practical source code and two very useful real-world case studies that tie together all of the lessons reinforcing everything the reader has learned. This book is a must have for any developer looking to leverage XML in their applications! Deborah Hittel-Shoaf, Acquisitions Editor

From the Author

Thanks for your interest in "XML and ASP.NET". I worked hard not to make this a rehash of available documentation, instead expanding on available information to provide a comprehensive overview of XML and how it can be applied to ASP.NET development.

My favorite chapters within the book are chapters 9, 10, and appendix C.

Chapter 9 covers SQL Server's XML capabilities, including the recently released SQLXML 3.0 add-on. This chapter shows not only how to use XML with SQL Server, but also when each technique is appropriate for different scenarios.

Chapter 10 covers serialization in .NET. While plenty of books cover serialization in passing, this is the first book I am familiar with to cover serialization to such depth and with such clarity.

Appendix C covers the XSLT 1.0 elements, demonstrating the use of each element with a real-world applicable stylesheet example. I worked very hard to develop an XSLT reference that was useful, demonstrating the potential use of each of the XSLT 1.0 elements within the W3C recommendation.

I hope you will enjoy reading XML and ASP.NET, it was a joy to write. -- Kirk Allen Evans
