Overview
This three-day instructor-led his course teaches developers how to program with XML in the Microsoft .NET
Framework in order to build Microsoft Windows or Web-based integrated applications that are easier to
build, scalable, and flexible.
Prerequisites
Before attending this course, students must have:
- Experience with programming languages such as Visual Basic .NET or Microsoft Visual C#.
- Experience using the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET developer environment.
- Experience building applications using the Extensible Stylesheet Language for Transformation (XSLT), XML Path Language (XPath), and XML schemas.
Course Outline
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
- Programmng 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
