XML Support in Whidbey

[batham]

Gurus,

I was wondering if there is some new method to read XML in VS 2005
using C#.

Right now I am loading the xml in XMLDocument and looping through the
xml node, is there a better way in Whidbey to achieve the same and the
following.

1. Fast loading of XML from file.
2. Reading each node with Attributes if any.
3. Adding/Modifying any nodes.

Thanks for the help,
Shailendra

No, there is nothing new with that regard in VS 2005 (except that
XmlDopcument is a bit faster). But you don't need to, instead of
looping you can directly select all elements with attributes and loop
over that list.

XmlNodeList list = doc.SelectNodes("//*[@*]");
foreach (XmlElement elem in list)
{
...
}
