(Sumit Thomas) The XML control is one of the least used controls in ASP.NET. To be honest I haven’t used it much myself. I combined my little knowledge in XSL with the XML control to create a simple RSS reader.

You can use the classes in the System.Security.Cryptography.Xml namespace to encrypt an element within an XML document. XML Encryption allows you to store or transport sensitive XML, without worrying about the data being easily read. This procedure decrypts an XML element using the Advanced Encrypti

(Mike Burr) The architects of Web service standards intentionally chose to express WSDL documents with XML in part to make them universally parseable by, and comprehensible to, development tools. While this promise has largely been fulfilled, robustly handling WSDL documents with XSLT (one of the mo

(Tieu Luu) Because these security requirements are not as apparent when thinking about Web services security, they tend to get built in as an afterthought without as much design and consideration as is necessary. This article describes some of the important security requirements that need to be cons
