Tutorial for XML Files

[RichardKnox]

I am looking for a turtorial, basic information or something on how to read XML files and to then take the information and put it into a database (access, ??) of my choosing.

I have searched around the net, but havent had much luck. Not sure if I am just choosing my search terms incorrectly or what.

So, something basic, show my how from scratch.

Any help would be greatly appreceated.

The following links should give you some ideas on how to work with XML with LINQ, read xml from disk to a dataset, looping thru data read from a physical file then inserted into a database table (in this case SQL-Server). So in short you should be able to construct code that best suits you for your task.

This is all well and good. I looked over these links and they have alot of information. As I am self-teaching myself how to program, I try to find very basic tutorials on the items I am learning. The" See dick & Jane run" type series.

The links are great, but I am trying to locate information that starts at the very beginning for accessing XML files. The tutorials that explain why we have to have or do each step, in order to achieve the end result we want.

I havent found any beginners books referenced, noted or identified that might help me in my quest. So, If you know of books, online tutorials or anything that might start from scratch with VS 2008 and XML files.

Thanks
Richard

If I were on the same path I would first study XML away from .NET then learn what is available within Visual Studio to work with XML which would be the links I provided.

For the first part check out this Google search with does not include .NET
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&r...d=0CIABENUCKAA

Other than that I would check out online book stores for books on this subject matter.

Thanks for the directions. Any suggestions for beginner books?

Hi,

You can find a tutorial for XML, here.

I don't know if this will help, but here is a sample of some code I used.
