hi,
i am writing a program that is supposed to create a database of my music
and albums.
i want it to consist of 3 'modules' input<->processing<->output. input
should enable reading data from cd or mysql db or xml, output should save
data to xml/mysql.
since im a total xml/.net/c# newbie i would like to know is XML suitable
for storing data?(database would include such information as album title,
artist, genre, and so on). Is there a way to universally 'connect' data
from xml and mysql(or other DB) source?datagrid?
What would you suggest? ;)
