Hi all, I'm new to XML and having difficulty trying to find information or
examples for certain tasks.

Basically I need to read in a sub-set of data from an XML file, similar to a
SELECT statement, also INSERT and UPDATE type routines.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,
Tull.

There's probably others, but there are two primary methods for reading
and writing XML files. One is using the DOM (Document Object Model).
Look into the help on the XmlDocument class. The other way is
serialization/deserialization. Look into help for XmlSerializer class.
You have a lot of reading and experimentation ahead of you.

Tull,

In addition to Zacks, an XML file is just a structured textfile.

It is not an SQL commands using  database or whatever.
