Real World XML: Examples of XML at Work

The main focus is on how XML can be used to solve real world problems, often in ways that only XML can. The following tools will be demonstrated and their source code reviewed: CSV2XML.ASP: an application that converts CSV files to XMLDOMs. If only one file is processed, the data is presented using the polymorphic spreadsheet. If two files are processed, the two XMLDOMs are compared to identify missing and different content. The content happens to be imported from CHECSYM.EXE, another standard utility that verifies symbols and inventories DLLs running in any given process. This tool is very useful when trying to confirm any given configuration or to identify the precise differences between two machines. VMMAP.ASP: an application using an ATL component to render virtual memory allocation data as XML. The data is then transformed by XSLT and rendered using CSS StyleSheets to depict the VM data visually.
