dotnet xml: Hi, Do anyone know if SAX can be used to parse XML using dotnet framework?
If yes any sample will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The .NET framework neither in version 1.x nor in version 2.0 has any
built-in classes to do SAX parsing. But there are plenty of APIs to
parse XML, instead of the push based SAX parsing model you can use the
pull based XmlReader/XmlTextReader approach.
Docs are here, .NET 1.x:
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemXmlXmlTextReaderClassTopic.asp>
..NET 2.0:
<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/b8a5e1s5(en-US,VS.80).aspx>

As for SAX itself, I don't know whether anyone outside of Microsoft
provides a SAX parser for the .NET framework, google for that if you
really think you need it, I guess you can find something that way.

..NET Framework doesn't support SAX, but it provides alternative API -
XmlReader. Take a look at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sbw89de7.aspx.
Also there are some third party SAX implementation for .NET, search the
web for more info.
