Hi all,
i'd like to know if XML could be a answer to what i'd like to, and if it
worth to take the time to learn it for what i want to do

I've built a full web based application with Sql server, javascript and
webclasses (under VB)

The next step wil be to create views of the document, and to print them.

As i don't really know exactly what can XML do, i ask this question to you,
who have already used it a lot. does XML alows to do such a thing ?

small precision : as this project is just at the beginning and as we don't
know which solution we will choose for the moment and the way we will do
this; that's why i have the choice of the best solution and that's why i try
to know if it's possible in XML

ps: sorry for my bad english

Best regards ,
Elise

XML alone does not create 'ANY' view of any document. Using transform technologies like XSL/XSLT you can create view of XML documents.

None of the above standards (XML/XSL/XSLT) has anything to do with printing.
