Some great stuff going on with XML lately.  Jan Tielens shows how to use InfoPath to access a secondary datasource, such as a SharePoint list Matt Warren then delves into some XML bestiary and shows a binary XML parser based on XmlReader.  Cazz (the one and only avid bathreader) shows how to iterate over XPathNodeIterator nodes, ...

No, Mozilla does not natively support Data Islands, but you can mimic data islands in Mozilla using a little bit of script.

Ever wonder if there is an XML Schema for the msdata namespace (urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata) used by the DataSet generation wizard?  You can find it here.

Someone asked me about using a typed DataSet on both ends of the wire using a web service. I honestly don't work with typed DataSets, but this question was to accomodate the client's existing architecture. We both tried it, and couldn't get it to work. This shouldn't be that hard,so I asked quite a few people... nada. Most admitted they just ...

I am actually not a fan of individuals posting aggregated feeds, but I found a set of posts tonight that all hit around my areas of interest.  This will not be a common occurrence for me, as I am posting these mainly as a selfish set of pointers. For those that have been putting off looking at Indigo for awhile, there is a sample chapter ...

Some very interesting work has been going on with the classes in the System.Xml namespace.  Daniel Cazzulino blogs about an XseReader implementation he has been working on for providing XML Streaming Events.  I had been using a similar implementation for trying to write a .NET version of an RssValidatingReader awhile back, but gave up ...

Paul Wilson emailed me with some questions regarding perceived memory leaks related to System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer.  I questioned whether it would be a “memory leak”, but pinged Christoph Schittko for some backup evidence.  He said he doubted it as well, else web services everywhere would be falling on their faces.  I ...

Steven Livingstone has a great tip on validation using DTDs and Schemas against an instance document that includes namespaces.

In my last post, I described the behavior of disable-output-escaping (d-o-e) and System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform when serializing to an XmlTextWriter.  This is a vague concept if you haven't fought d-o-e before, so I am expanding the explanation a bit.    XSLT is deceptive in that it looks like text (after all, you just type, and a ...

This question seems to come up fairly frequently, so I am putting a pointer in my blog for quick reference.  In another blog entry, “Use ASP.NET Data Binding to Bind Directly to XML (sans DataSet)”, I showed how you can use an XmlNodeList as the source for ASP.NET data binding because it implements the IEnumerable ...
