Does anybody have any links to tutorials for using XML in
your VB.NET applications. I am new to programming, and
want to know what to use XML for, and how to use it. I
was thinking I could use it to let the user customize the
XML document, so that when a program loads, it get
specific properties from the XML document.

Mhm... Did you already read the chapters about the 'System.Xml'
namespace, config files, datasets and XML serialization
('XmlSerializer') in the documentation?
 
Hi Bill,

XML is not a thing on its own, it is noting more than a way of describing
data in a textfile.

It is used in a lot of different ways, as a document, as a dataset, as a
container for a serialized object etc etc. in dotNet.

Basicly XML is nothing more than a file with tags which give information
about the contents of the file.

However do not put your focus on XML, I am sure that it will lead you in the
wrong direction.

When you are busy with dotNet, you while see it soon enough when you are
handling with data which can be serialized to XML.

Just my thought,

Cor
