Use XML Classes or DataSet to manage Data Records?

I am currently using native .net XML classes for managing my little
key/value data storage requirements and they work great. I have created a
simple class to abstract the XML and manage my key/value data requirements
that saves me tons of time and works great.

Now I need to use XML files to store and manage records as a flat file (no
relational data) and was wondering which path would be best. Do the native
..net classes make this kind of data manipultion easy (such as creating an
auto index field) or am I better of to read the XML file into a DataSet and
manipulate it from there.

If native XML classes is the way to go, has anyone created a generic class
to manage XML records?

Thanks for the Help

Hi! I'm hoping someone can help me come up with a 'best possible solution' for the following problem: I'm trying to design an addressbook, i.e a storage for adresses. I would like my adresses to have a random number of fields, all of which are strings. Futhermore every address can belong to zero or more categories (ie. friend, family etc.)

Hello, I have to read and write around one million records from an external data source to Sql Server2k every night. That's a lot of I/O. I am using VB6 for this (takes hours). I am connecting to the external data source with API's from its object library (as opposed to ODBC in which case I would just use DTS to pull this data) and just looping. I was thinking that with VB.Net I could read this data into a dataset in memory...

Assume you have a grocery store application. An order consists of an order header with the "customer" info, and multiple "item" records (one for each thing they ordered). Now, in a regular DB application this is straight forward stuff. However, I'd like some advice as to how to best take advantage of classes to make a more flexible application. I'm thinking about having a "order" class which would contain a "customer class" instance...

After doing some work in both Java and ASP.NET, I came back to add some major enhancements to a PHP 4 application I built several years ago. A lot of the database access is currently sprinkled throughout the application. In the Java and .NET worlds, I would do data access code by creating classes that would handle all of the data access for each of the application data entities. This worked great and kept all the data access in one...

This is a question that someone familiar with ASP.NET and ADO.NET DataSets and DataTables should be able to answer fairly easily. The basic question is how I can efficiently match data from one dataset to data in a second dataset, using a common key. I will first describe the problem in words and then I will show my code, which has most of the solution done already. I have built an ASP.NET that queries an Index Server and returns a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
