Example codes with VB.NET working with XML doc required

[lonelyplanet]

Hi,

I'm studying for 70-306 using the book "MCAD/MCSD Visual Basic .NET
Windows Applications" published by McGraw Hill (ISBN: 0-07-212583-7).

I found the book has no programming exercise provided about how VB.NET
work with XML documents (certification objective 15.02). I'm now
searching for some example source codes to assist my study.

Could anyone also suggest me some useful online study resources ?

Tks!

Tks Scott,

I found one source code at below link showing how to Read XML from a
file.

http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickst...eadXmlFile.src
From the source code, I expected the .vb file should be compiled as a

console application so I tried to compile it with vbc.exe.

Before calling vbc.exe. I ran below .bat file, too

path "d:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net\frameworksdk\bin";
"d:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.3705" %PATH%

However, as I executed below command at DOS prompt, below error
messages was printed out:

What have I missed ? Do I call vbc correctly ?

Scott,

Tks for your help but lo*************@my-deja.com is no longer

Could you send the e-mail to lo**************@yahoo.com again please

Thank You Very Much :)

Scott,

I'm sorry to seek your help again. My Visual Studio NET couldn't read
your sent .sln file again. Probably your Studio NET is more updated
than mine --- I clicked on your supplied ConsoleApplication2.exe. An
error message popped up
"D:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\msco rwks.dll could not be
loaded. I checked directory D:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework and
found subdirectory "v1.0.3705" only.

Could I solve the problem on my side ? Is using the same version of
Studio .NET as you the only solution ?

FYI, I'm using Visual Studio .NET enterprise architect Version 2002.

Microsoft Development Environment 2002 Version 7.0.9466
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Version 1.0.3705.

Tks:)
