Begginer XML question.
-
I have an XML file that need to be shown as a table. I know that I can do it by XslTransform, but I need to let the user to edit the data and save it in the XML file. How can I do it using C# in ASP.NET? Thank you Chagit
I believe the DataGrid (or something similar ) provided by WebForms can be bound to an XML source and is editable. But I'm just startng with this stuff, so I'm not sure.

DataGridto do most of the grunt work for you. This article explains how it is done. You can also do it manually by having a master/detail setup as you would have had in ASP with a SQL data source. Remember XML is just a data source really, not a full query/input technology. You still need processing from ASP or ASP.NET or some other language to get data into an XML source. So for example you would use XSL to output the HTML which included a FORM element back to a handling ASP page which goes through the FORM child-input-elements writing the changed data back into the XML file.Paul Watson
