I have/will have a set of xml docs with elements and attributes such as Job Time start="" end="" - would the proper way of manipulating the data be to use the XPath namespace or Linq?
Will Linq let me address the collection of docs like a relational database and would that be a better way than XPath considering insertions, deletions, and counting etc ? This project will be written in C#. The small doc set extracted from
a zip to a temp folder then manipulated by the user (think inventory and field work) and finally compressed back into the zip file for latent storage.
I just want to get off to a proper start in using a flat database of xml docs for a data store.
Thanks in advance for the help.
