Scott Howlett and Jeff Dunmall: Drag and Drop Data Manipulation Powered by XML

Posted: Feb/15/2000 By: pankaj Points:15 Category: .NET - .NET Framework Views:72 Vote Up (0) Vote Down (0)

Building on the browser-based org chart featuring VML (Vector Markup Language) described previously in Microsoft Internet Developer, this article takes you through the process of refining that sample app by using XML, XSL, and JScript code to create a new, improved version. Drag and drop editing is added to the org chart interface thanks to built-in support found in Internet Explorer 5.0. XML and JScript allow data manipulated on the screen to be saved back to the server in its native format. The final product of this combination of XML, XSL, and VML is a high performance, scalable Internet app that uses processing on the client to reduce stress for the server.Scott Howlett and Jeff DunmallMSDN Magazine March 2000
