Respected Experts
I wish to create a programme using C# 2008 express edition and ADO.NET that handles hierchical data.
My limited knowledge suggests that this can be done using XML only.
I tried to read a few ebooks on XML but they didnt intend to teach any thing related to C#.
While experimenting with a data table designer in C# i came across XML as a data type. Now what I wanna know is that what is its use and how is it used. Also how can i use it for my purpose i.e handling hierarchical data.
Sir i also want to know if there is any way of creating and adding new tables and columns to a database file while runtime. (in C#, VC++.NET languages only - as i am quite comfortable with them). I mean can I create a programme which adds columns and tables to a database based on user input.
(I know that if i go back to the lovely 16 bit Turbo C++ I will be able to do something of that sort with huge coding (which i like a lot) but presently i dont want to do that)
It wont be troublesome for me if u suggest me to read some books in order to learn these concepts. They must just be easily accessible.(better if in pdf format)
tHaNkS in Advance.
Please note that i am a novice to C# and dot Net etc and am interested in learning them sincerely as an amatuer.
