System.XML vs MSXML 3/4

[Keith Chadwick]

I am current in the process of converting an existing ASP application to
ASP.NET. The existing application makes extensive use of server side XML
transformations as in rslt=myxmlobj.tranform(myxsltdoc).

Now I have included the reference to the MSXML 3.0 object into my .NET
application and have it working but I am wondering am I better off using the
System.XML object that comes naturally with .NET. Is there a performance
gain? Is it safer for rollout to an ISP? Is it safer to place a
System.xml.xsl.transform object into the application cache versus a
MSXML.DOMDocument30.

Thanks in advance

This KB article states that the use of MSXML within .NET apps is not
supported.

So I would conclude that using System.Xml is the "safer" approach.

Thanks, I thought as much. Having used MSXML for a long time I have found
the move to System.xml a little confusing but I appear to be getting over
the hump in just one day, which is not to bad.
