Whilst the xml display results look very impressive, we are only
actually scratching the surface with this very simple tutorial. It is
possible to extend this so much more from just our simple database
example. For instance, lets assume that we want a display icon for the
north and south regions. We could use conditional formatting to display
a graphic when the condition has been met.
Example below using the same xml data as above but
formatted differently.
North will have a blue arrow pointing up and south a red arrow
pointing down

XML in expression web is quite simple
Now that you have an idea of how to use xml in expression web, you can
continue to explore the ways that it can be used. I have large portions of this
web site, that are driven by using an access database and xml with expression
web.
