This sample demonstrates how to use the System.Xml and System.Xml.Linq (XLinq)classes and methods supported by the .NET for Windows Store apps API library. The sample opens a text file that contains an XML document, queries the XML document, and saves the results to another XML text file/
This sample covers two scenarios:
- Querying an XML message with XLinq inside a Windows Store app. To accomplish this, the sample uses the XDocument and XElement and queries against them using LINQ.
- Processing the XML message with XmlReader and XmlWriter inside a Windows Store app. XmlReader and XmlWriter are part of the System.Xml namespace. These classes are used to create the XDocument instance that the sample queries with LINQ and then serializes to a file, respectively.
"XLinq" refers to the use of LINQ to query XML documents using the classes (such as XDocument and XElement) and methods defined in System.Xml.Linq. These namespaces and their classes are only available to Windows Store apps using C++, C#, or Visual Basic.
