I am a proficient MSXML coder but i can't get what I want (knowledge about . So unless you are a pretty competent . Net programmer and already proficient in ADO. Net/ADO you will struggle to understand this book and struggle to understand the significance of what you are being told and why. I gave up and resorted to looking for articles on MSDN.
