This tutorial walks through a sample application that Microsoft provides where an XML file is loaded into memory and then can be queried using a console application written in VB.NET. Not only does this help us as we learn to write Visual Basic applications, it also allows us to see a simple example of what XML looks like, how it can be used like a database, and how the DotNet runtime can interact with it. We also get a demonstration of how to output data to the console, input data from the user, use if conditions, and while loops.
