XML Question

[hksoftware]

Hi,
I've seen 2 uses of XML. eBays example code sends this to the server:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetCategoriesRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>value</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
<DetailLevel>0</DetailLevel>
<Item>
<Site>0</Site>
</Item>
<ViewAllNodes>1</ViewAllNodes>
</GetCategoriesRequest>


And uses an xml file to store settings like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>

<appSettings>
<add key="DevID" value="INSERT_DEVID" />
<add key="AppID" value="INSERT_APPID" />
<add key="CertID" value="INSERT_CERTID" />
<add key="ServerUrl" value="

https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/ws/api.dll"

/>
<add key="UserToken" value="INSERT_TOKEN" />
</appSettings>

</configuration>

These look like 2 different types of XML.
I'm making an app which checks online for a new version by downloading an XML file. Which of the above methods shall I use and why?

If someone could point me to an article which explains the 2 implementations that'd be great. Thanks!

Try the XML forum (forum426).

Hope this helps,
