hello everyone-
I am fairly new to XML and understand SQL to XML transactions. However, I
am now faced with a mindnumbing problem. I've read and researched endlessly,
but can find nothing succint- no "here's where to start..." My company is
receiving NewsML feeds from which I need to extract particular data
(headline, dateline, body, etc.) for storage in a SQL table. Could someone
graciously point me in the right direction as to how I would get going on
this? There seem to be so many ways to do this and I've seen several msdn kb
articles, but I am still so confused. This will end up in an ASP.NET
application, using VB.NET -C# if I have to. :o)
TIA- Jenna
Hello Jenna!
I'd pass the feed text as a parameter to a stored procedure and use openxml to extract the data.
