This is a nice overview in regards to some of the key advantages in System.Xml for .NET 2.0.&nbsp; It provides a deeper understanding the of the design goals, with code samples that showcase how to take advantage of them.<br><br>

Hi Seo,<br><br>System.Xml is compliant with both DOM Level 1 and Level 2.&nbsp; You can find the the SDK documentation @ <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.aspx" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.aspx
</a><br><br>In addition, as per the intro into the above linked page,<br><br><p>
                                The <b>System.Xml</b> namespace provides standards-based support for processing XML.
                        
                                 </p><p>The supported standards include:</p> <ul><li> <p>XML 1.0 - <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210
</a> - including DTD support. </p> </li><li> <p>XML Namespaces - 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/</a> - both stream level and DOM. </p> </li><li> <p>XSD Schemas - <a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

 </li><li> <p>DOM Level 1 Core - <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1/</a> </p> </li><li> <p>DOM Level 2 Core -

</a></p></li></ul><br>In addition, there is a good presentation series located @
<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/seminar/mmcfeed/mmcdisplayfeed.asp?lang=en&amp;product=103337&amp;audience=100402" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/seminar/mmcfeed/mmcdisplayfeed.asp?lang=en&amp;product=103337&amp;audience=100402
</a>
that covers all of the XML-related technlogies for .NET.&nbsp; While the
presentations are somewhat old, the content is still relevant.<br><br>In regards to the conformance reference, I will need to dig around, but I know Joshua Allen has posted a lot of content in the past to places like the XML-Dev mailing list that discuss at least some of the conformance related questions.&nbsp; Let me dig around a bit and follow-up with a couple of links.
<br><br>In addition to this, the entire org.w3.dom Java bindings are available as part of <a href="http://IKVM.NET" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">IKVM.NET</a> in the IKVM.GNU.Classpath.dll

, and as such, you can utilize these as well inside of any .NET accessible language.&nbsp; To implement this is C#, use the same syntax for classpath~namepath that you would in java, replacing (obviously) import with using.
<br><br>Hope this helps!<div><span><br>
