title: ASP.NET XML ObjectDataSource Wrapper Class Examples
body: <p>I want to use XML instead of SQLServer for a simple website. </p>
  
  <p>Are their any good tutorials, code examples, and/or tools available to make a (prefer VB.NET) wrapper class to handle the basic list, insert, edit, and delete (CRUD) code?</p>
  
  <p>The closest one I found was on a Telerik Trainer video/code for their Scheduler component where they used XML to handle the scheduling data in the demo. They created an ObjectDataSource class. Here is a <a href="http://www.telerik.com/support/teleriktrainer/teleriktrainerpreview/b332i-bb-b332c-a.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LINK</a> to that demo if anyone is interested.</p>

  <p>it would make deployment easier for clients that use godaddy where the database isn't in the app_data folder. also backing up those websites would be as simple as FTP the entire thing.</p>
  
  <p>i have concerns about possible collisions on saving. especially if I add something as simple as a click counter to say a list of mp3 files visitors to the site can access.</p>
