Summary

This chapter showed you some simple uses for XML files. You saw how to write and read XML files. You learned how to convert data types back and forth from XML text to strict data types. You also learned in the first example how to validate XML data as it is being read in.

The second example showed you how to use a schema with an XmlValidatingReader to automatically validate the data type of the node you are reading. This makes reading XML files much more automatic and less error-prone.

The next chapter is all about keeping the user happy. Your programs may need to do quite a bit of processing, and giving your users the illusion of speed will be important in your programs.
