Hi,
I need help.
I'm a student who is not very familiar with VB.Net. But i have to use VB.Net to extract XML file from a server and into a Text file.
The XML file will look like this (see below):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Well, VBScript isn't .NET, so you might have better luck asking in a .NET forum. Maybe one like this one: http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/

Tranforming XML is the sole purpose of XSLT. Using XSLT, you can easily transform XML to text. The following article is a good primer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc302158.aspx.
