Can I import libxml2 to Visual Studio 2013

Question

I am creating a custom SOAP parser for a C# project.

I would like to import libxml2 (a pure c library) to my project. Is this doable?

Are there any C# alternatives in .NET? Is there a C# port of libxml2?

You can use standard XmlWriter and XmlReader from System.Xml namespace which internally use Microsoft Xml Parser which is pretty fast. You can even use DOM oriented acces with System.Xml.XmlDocument or System.Xml.Linq.XDocument. Even there is System.Runtime.Remoting.SoapServices class which help you with soap message.

If you want to consume some SOAP web service, than you can easily import it and visual studio will create strong typed object for you for free without any touch to the SOAP message. You can refer to: MSDN Consuming Web Services
