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??

Please read [ask] and [What have you tried?](http://mattgemmell.com/2008/12/08/what-have-you-tried/) – nfechner Mar 07 '12 at 19:19

@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

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.
