Using XML files as a database
-
Has anyone come across a free class/library/engine (including source code in c#) that will allow me to use xml files as a database (possible supporting SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE style operations). It doesn't have to be anything fancy, only needs to support one user and must be free. I want to use XML files as a replacement for Microsoft Access database files in a single user application. Cheers in advance.

I haven't messed with it yet, but the first thing I would try is
DataSet.ReadXml,DataSet.GetXml,DataSet.ReadXmlSchema,DataSet.WriteXml,DataSet.WriteXmlSchema, etc. Mark Sanders sanderssolutions.com -
