[omar353531]

In this example you’ll learn on how to read and write into XML file using VB.NET.

XML file is useful if you want to store simple data like storing database name and server information so that your application will remember what server and or database your program is connected in last session.

An example of storing your database and server info:

1. <?
   
   xml version=
   
   "1.0"
   
   ?>
   
2. <
   
   database server=
   
   "server"
   
   name=
   
   "POS_Data"
   
   >
   
3. </
   
   database>
   

Where “server” is the name of your computer that run SQL Server and “name” is the name of your database.

Virus note: All files are scanned once-a-day by SourceCodester.com for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE:

1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.

2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
