I have a small XML file that contains several records for some
products. Basically a small XML database. I need to be able to select
certain records from that XML file, using some sort of query I guess,
and populate some textboxes in a windows form giving the user the
ability to make changes. Once they are done making a change to a
record, the need to be able to click a Save button and write the
changes back to the original XML file. Can someone point me to some
examples (VB.NET) on how to accomplish this? Any good books or
websites that cover this topic?

Thanks in advance!
 
I would refer you to www.learnvisualstudio.net. They have
a ton of great multimedia...I have purchased their CDs and
renewed my subscription several times. If you email the
company owner (small company, one or two guys) he might be
willing to send you part of the series on XML for free.

That's how I became a paying customer...one of those
freebies :-)

I would say that their series has helped me learn .NET far
better than any book. It won't teach you everything, but
it will get you to the level where you are comfortable and
ready to walk on your own.

As far as connecting to XML, it is extremely easy in .NET.
