Overview |
- Build database applications with relational databases (including SQL Server 2000), ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), and XML, using XML data in the most appropriate places in the application
- Use XML to make remote method calls, using SOAP and Microsoft's ROPE, across HTTP and through firewalls
- Create client applications using Internet Explorer and XML that provide the user with a customized and interactive user experience
- Use XML on a Web server to provide cross-browser support for Web applications and persist state
- Use XML as a cross-platform way to communicate data between the components in an n-tier, distributed application
- Use variables to build attribute values and store defaultvalues.
- Design named templates that act as subroutines in and XSLT stylesheet.
- Use XSLT to calculate results and do totaling based on XML data.
- Handle HTML tags in the content of your XML source document.
- Decide if and when to use processor-specific extensions in your XSLT applications.
