Course Abstract:	This comprehensive and practical course builds skills in .NET’s XML processing APIs—chiefly parsing using XmlReader and the Document Object Model (DOM), writing XML streams using XmlWriter, and transformations using XPath and XSLT, all using the .NET Framework XML classes and the C# language. It also covers XML serialization according to XML Schema and the tight coupling between XML and ADO.NET. The course is intended for students with a working knowledge of XML who want to build XML applications or components using .NET and the C# language. Everything in the course adheres to W3C and .NET standards for highly portable code. The course includes a practical discussion of performance tradeoffs using various XML technology alternatives. New features in System.Xml in .NET 2.0 are discussed in the context of where the topics are covered. Visual Studio 2005 is used as the development environment. The course includes extensive programming examples, a progressively developed case study, and several tools for manipulating XML documents. All source code is in C# and is provided with the course.
Audience:	This course is designed for developers.
Duration:	4 days
Learning Outcomes:	Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to: > Recognize the purpose of the .NET Framework XML classes > Parse XML data streams using XmlReader classes > Validate XML data streams that are described by a DTD or an XML Schema > Use the XmlWriter class to create XML data streams > Modify, create and delete information in an XML document using the Document Object Model (DOM) .NET classes > Use XML Schema to express precise type information for an XML document and Visual Studio 2005 to create schemas > Use XML Serialization to persist XML data > Acquire a working knowledge of the use of ADO.NET with XML > Use XPath to query for content in an XML document > Use the XPathNavigator class to parse and edit XML documents > Use XSLT to transform XML documents into text, HTML or other XML > Evaluate performance tradeoffs in alternative XML technologies

Prerequisites:	Ability to read and to write well-formed XML and a working knowledge of programming the .NET Framework using C# is required. A working knowledge of ADO.NET is recommended for the portion of the course dealing with ADO.NET and XML. HARDWARE/SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS The course runs using Visual Studio 2005. The recommended operating system is Windows XP with Service Pack 2. See the appropriate course Setup Guide for details. A good minimal hardware profile for this course would have a Pentium 500-MHz or equivalent CPU, 256 MB of RAM, and at least 4 GB of free disk space for tools installation and courseware.
