Chapter 33. Reading XML
This chapter covers how to read the contents of an XML document using the classes provided in the Microsoft .NET Framework Class Library. In the last chapter we explained the integration of XML and DataSets but didn't really explain how to read the XML contents or how to programmatically construct an XML document. Here, we actually get into the specifics of reading the XML content itself.
This involves explaining the process of loading an XML document into an in-memory structure, traversing the XML structure, and reading the XML data (content).
