In Visual Basic 9.0, XML becomes a built-in data type with a rich editing experience that completely eliminates the conceptual barrier between the code that you write and the XML that you're trying to express.

In this presentation Beth Massi focuses on working with XML using the LINQ to XML API.  This includes the creation, querying and transformation of XML as well as the movement away from the DOM.

Enjoy this InfoQ exclusive presentation first presented at QCon San Francisco.
