Web Server Controls->ASP.NET XML Control

Definition and Usage

The XML control is used to display an XML document or the results of an XSL Transform.

Note: At least one of the XML Document properties must be set or no XML document is displayed.

You can also specify an XSLT document that will format the XML document before it is written to the output. You can format the XML document with the Transform property or the TransformSource property.

DocumentContent Specifies an XML string

id A unique id for the control
