Dare’s XML Guidelines
Dare’s weblog has some comments about his ?best practices for using XML in the .NET Framework?. This has been a topic of conversation internally for awhile, and hopefully the story will get a lot better in V2. I think the guidelines Dare gives are really the best we could do in V1. On a personal level, I cringe when I see anyone using a string variable to hold XML, but that’s my purist viewpoint more than pragmatism — I realize that it’s a fairly common practice, and I’ve done it myself many times. Oh well…
