You Don't Have to Know XML to Use XML. Extensible Markup Language (XML) gives you a standard way of understanding, manipulating, exchanging, and displaying documents. Unfortunately, VB doesn’t let you generate, manipulate, or view XML data natively. So, this VBPJ Special Project shows you how to do all these things. You’ll learn everything you need to know to build a visual VB XML generator, as well as how to create both desktop and Web clients that can display these documents. The XML generator does the dirty work of generating the XML and DTD documents for you. This means you can devote your time to implementing the functionality you want, rather than sweating the semantics of XML’s syntax.
