Abstract
As a .NET developer, you are bound to encounter XML-based data in numerous places. Application and web-based configuration files store information as XML. ADO.NET DataSets can easily save out (or load in) data as XML. Windows Presentation Foundation, Silverlight, and Windows Workflow Foundation all make use of an XML-based grammar (XAML) to represent desktop UIs browser-based UIs, and workflows respectively. Even Windows Communication Foundation (as well as the original .NET remoting APIs) also stores numerous settings as the well-formatted string called XML.
