We know xml is used for storing data,which can be ported across platforms(underlying principle of webservice). But i am confused with the term xmldocument. What is actually xml document? does that the alternate name of XMl??

  • @nfechner, how on earth is "What have you tried?" relevent to this question? – Kirk Woll Mar 07 '12 at 19:20
  • so you mean what ever contents in the xml like elements including root node and other datas if i want use i need to instantiate xmldocument class. So purely a programatic representation of xml rite? – Henric Mar 07 '12 at 19:22
  • @KirkWoll Maybe the link to "How to Ask" would have been enough. I usually add both links to questions like this, as I think the poster will benefit from reading both. And it's a lot nicer than saying JFGI. – nfechner Mar 07 '12 at 19:25
  • @Henric, yes, XML is a language, `XmlDocument` is a C# class used to read/write XML files/documents. – Kirk Woll Mar 07 '12 at 19:25
  • @Kirk Woll thanks ,thats the one, i really confused to see that word in lot of places – Henric Mar 07 '12 at 19:28

I'm not sure I understand your question. XMLDocument represents an XML document, it's simple :)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument(v=vs.80).aspx

XML is a markup language and XMLDocument is a class to read an XML file.
