VB Forum / General / February 2005simple XML
Hi I am looking for some good resource on reading and writing basic XML files. I don't want to do anything particularly fancy, just create an xml file to replace an .ini file. Any pointers to something lightweight? Thanks in advance ZipDC > I am looking for some good resource on reading and writing basic XML files. > I don't want to do anything particularly fancy, just create an xml file to > replace an .ini file. Any pointers to something lightweight? If nothing else this will automate the process of converting an INI file to XML for you! http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?selm=OcAJycxQEHA.132%40TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl Also, here's a basic introduction to XML and various links to other old posts on the subject, if you have any specific queries then post back and we'll take a look for you: http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?selm=uFdNHlVfEHA.1288%40TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl Hope this helps, Mike - Microsoft Visual Basic MVP - E-Mail: EDais@mvps.org WWW: Http://EDais.mvps.org/ > I am looking for some good resource on reading and writing basic XML > files. > I don't want to do anything particularly fancy, just create an xml file to > replace an .ini file. Any pointers to something lightweight? XML isn't particularly lightweight. If you're looking for something simple to replace .INI files you might be better off rolling your own. Otherwise you're going to, at the very least, either learn how to get a nodelist and iterate it to look for what you want (slow) or learn enough about XPath queries to be able to select the subset of nodes you want to process. If you can provide a sample of what you'd LIKE to do I might be able to whip up a quick code sample. I've just recently gotten into using XML in code (nothing fancy, no namespace stuff yet) and I can handle the basics. Thank you both.

They have very well written tutorials to learn the basics of web technologies...
