Delphi Developer's Guide to XML
Chapter 22 - XML Data Binding

Previous   Next   Listings

Data binding extends the common DOM framework to provide "real-world" objects, complete with properties, that represent the data in your XML document. A wizard generates the binding for you, allowing you to almost forget that the data came from an XML document. You can both read and update the underlying XML through the binding.

DataBindingRead.dpr   A custom XML viewer based on XML data binding objects
DataBindingReadU.pas
