Presents your XML AND WEB SERVICES E-NEWSLETTER for February 23, 2004 <-------------------------------------------> Keep up with the XML schema movement The XML Schema specification has been around for a while, yet some developers are still clinging to the comparatively flawed but familiar XML Document Type Definition (DTD) to define the structure of their XML documents. Any developer working with XML--and especially those using .NET to create XML Web services--needs to catch up with the XML Schema movement. After all, if the W3C has endorsed the XML Schema as the successor to DTD, and Microsoft has designed the .NET Framework to support the XML Schema, it's likely that the XML Schema will become the dominant standard in XML development. Besides the market implications, the XML Schema also offers a notably rigorous standard by which to layout and organize XML documents, which will benefit developers working on large XML projects. This article discusses the advantage of the XML Schema and how it interacts with the .NET Framework. Find out how you can incorporate the XML Schema into your own development efforts and stay ahead of the standards curve. http://ct.com.com/click?q=1c-cswiIFr9383SOeGL5JL54jI~RGMt ----------------------------------------
