"XML--the Microsoft Way is a must-have for any IT library." --Duane Nickull, CTO, XML Global Technologies, and Chief Technical Editor, XSLT

As a core part of many new and important technologies, XML is a priority for all programmers creating network- and Web-enabled applications for the Windows platform. This complete, comprehensive, and up-to-date book presents the fundamentals of standard XML, essential related technologies, and the use of XML within a Microsoft-specific development environment.

Appropriate for beginning to intermediate XML programmers, XML--the Microsoft Way explains XML concepts and guides developers who need to pick up XML development skills. It provides helpful background on the history of XML and offers clear explanations and examples of its most important elements: syntax, data modeling, formatting, templates, linking, and more. This book then moves on to cover more advanced topics, focusing on Microsoft tools for XML development.

You will find coverage of such important topics as:
• XML Schema, Namespaces, XLink, and XPointer
• Data modeling with DTDs, XDR Schemas, and XSD Schemas
• Cascading Style Sheets
• eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), XSL Transformation (XSLT), and Formatting Objects (FO)
• The Document Object Model (DOM)
• Simple API for XML (SAX)
• The Microsoft SOAP (Simplified Object Access Protocol) Toolkit
• eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML)
• Visual Basic and Visual C++ with XML
• The .Net Framework and XML
• Internet Explorer and Dynamic HTML
• Server-Side Scripting and XML
• BizTalk • Microsoft Office and XML

Numerous code examples, primarily in Visual Basic but also including many in Visual C++ and C#, appear throughout the book to illustrate important techniques. The combination of clear explanations, significant examples, and Microsoft focus make XML--the Microsoft Way a valuable addition to any programmer's library.
