Using the SQLXML Managed Classes

This section provides sample applications that demonstrate how to use the [!INCLUDEmsCoName] SQLXML Managed Classes.

For information about accessing and modifying data in [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] within the [!INCLUDEmsCoName] .NET Framework, and about using DiffGrams to update data in [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] tables, see Accessing SQLXML Functionality in the .NET Environment.

Note

You can also write [!INCLUDEmsCoName] Visual Studio applications to bulk load XML documents by using XML Bulk Load. For more information, see Performing Bulk Load of XML Data (SQLXML 4.0). You must add a reference to the XML Bulk Load DLL (Xblkld4.dll) in your application. This is a COM DLL for which Visual Studio .NET automatically creates the wrapper library.
