The book is out of print but I can still get a copy. It says it shows how to use VB.NET and XML on a single DeskTop machine. If anyone is familiar with the book can you tell me if it shows how to use VB.NET and XML in a Windows application without using Access, OLEDB, ODBC, or any other databases and without using SQL? What I want to do is load an XML file into a DataGrid, Edit the data, Add and Delete, and update the data in the file. I have been able to populate the DataGrid, but that is as far as I have gotten. Most if not all the examples in the VB .NET help files show they are using SQL and some database such as OLEDB which I do not have.
