Hi Dave,
As for mapping object and xml document, the first thing I can get is the
XMLSerialization, which is the dedicated technique in .NET framework for
class /XML mapping. If the xml schema is not quite complex, you can
directly define the .net class(with XML serialization attributes) or use
the XSD.exe tool to generate the class code from xml file(or xsd schema):
#XML Serialization in .NET

#XML Serialization in the .NET Framework
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950721.aspx
#XML Schema Definition Tool (Xsd.exe)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...0s(VS.71).aspx
also, with LINQ appearing, it is also very convenient to use LINQ2XML to
manipulate XML document, do some transforming(to different xml format or to
.NET class objects..) especially when you use VB.NET:

Subject: XML <-object mapping tool?
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2008 21:12:53 -0600
>Hi;
I have a small XML file that I need to read/change from my app. Is
there some easy way to map from XML to my objects so I can just read
it in to my objects, change the objects as needed, then write the
whole thing back out?
thanks - dave
