I've seen the other suggestions but I'll add the following: MS .NET is built on XML. One of the core functions of this technology is parsing to/from XML using schema. Rather than trying to parse/interpret/generate raw XML on your own, you may want to consider using free technology that was designed for the purpose, then your interface to/from U2 is plain text in whatever format you want. Some of this is truly as simple as using just a couple lines of code.
Regarding books, I'm not to impressed with the XML Bible which I have on the shelf in front of me. I think it was dated as soon as it hit the shelves. That's an important point - get something up to date so that you aren't reading examples of code which the author expects might be valid in the 0.0.2 release of some new protocol. This market evolves very quickly. Tony George Gallen wrote: > ok. I've been given the task of trying to output a > database based on an XML Schema file.
