<h1>Mvp.Xml Project: Common module<br>
</h1>
The Common module includes a set of commonly useful classes in <span
 style="font-family: monospace;">Mvp.Xml.Common</span>
and <span style="font-family: monospace;">Mvp.Xml.Common.XPath</span>
namespaces, which extend the .NET functionality available through the <a
 target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxml.asp">
System.Xml</a> and related namespaces.<br>
<br>
The following is a list of features, a short explanation and a link to
its corresponding full explanation post:
<ul>
  <li> <a target="_blank"
 href="http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2003/10/07/30888.aspx">DynamicContext</a>:
allows precompilation of XPath expression involving
dynamic values for a performance increase of 1.5 x - 4 x.&nbsp; </li>
  <li> <a target="_blank"
 href="http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2004/04/02/106667.aspx">XPathCache</a>:
based on the previous class, exposes a cache of
precompiled XPath expressions that can be executed with a single line
of code. Replacing existing dynamic queryies with this involves minimal
effort and yields even greater performance than the previous one alone
for scenarios involving queries with sort expressions. </li>
  <li> <a target="_blank"
 href="http://www.tkachenko.com/blog/archives/000194.html">IndexingXPathNavigator</a>:
allows the use of the XSLT key function to create indexes for fast
querying. Very handy for query intensive applications that need to
repeatedly look for elements and matches. It yields an amazing 10 x
performance improvement at a minimum. </li>
  <li> <a target="_blank"
 href="http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2004/04/19/115966.aspx">XPathNavigatorReader</a>:
implements an <a target="_blank"

XmlTextReader</a> over any <a target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemXmlXPathXPathNavigatorClassTopic.asp">
XPathNavigator</a>, effectively offering&nbsp;<a target="_blank"

ReadInnerXml</a> and <a target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxmlxmlreaderclassreadouterxmltopic.asp">
ReadOuterXml</a> methods, and automatic XML serialization by
implementing the <a
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxmlserializationixmlserializableclasstopic.asp">
IXmlSerializable</a> interface. Of course you can also use just to
query for the XML string representation from an arbitrary navigator ;).</li>
  <li> <a target="_blank"
 href="http://www.tkachenko.com/blog/archives/000117.html">XmlNodeNavigator</a>
: the <a target="_blank"

XmlNode</a> implementation of the <a target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxmlxpathixpathnavigableclasscreatenavigatortopic.asp">
IXPathNavigable.CreateNavigator</a> will always return an <a
 target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemXmlXPathXPathNavigatorClassTopic.asp">
XPathNavigator</a> starting at the root of the document, *not* the
current node you're standing in. This class solves this issue by
creating a navigator that can be used to navigate the subtree. </li>
  <li> <a target="_blank"
 href="http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2004/06/24/164243.aspx">SubtreeXPathNavigator</a>:
allows to scope a navigator to the current
node. This allows high-performance subtree XSLT transformations without
re-parsing. </li>
  <li><!--StartFragment --> <a
 href="http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2004/04/23/119263.aspx">XmlFragmentStream</a>:
allows to read a file that contains only node fragments, by faking a
root element at the stream level. This allows loading the XML into a
document for querying, for example, something that is not possible with
an <a target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxmlxmltextreaderclasstopic.asp">
XmlTextReader</a> alone. Very useful for logging applications that
write XML fragments and its corresponding log analyzer. </li>
  <li><!--StartFragment --> <a
 href="http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2004/04/26/120684.aspx">XPathIteratorReader</a>:
exposes an <a target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxmlxmltextreaderclasstopic.asp">
XmlTextReader</a> over an <a target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemXmlXPathXPathNodeIteratorClassTopic.asp">
XPathNodeIterator</a>, with special overloads to configure the new
faked root elemetn. Very useful if you need to return the results of a
query from a WebService. In this case you use it in combination with
the <a target="_blank"
 href="http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2004/05/31/144922.aspx">
XmlNodeFactory</a>. </li>
  <li> <a target="_blank"
 href="http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2004/05/31/144922.aspx">XmlNodeFactory</a>:
allows returning well-formed XML from WebServices
without loading XmlDocument at all, by providing a factory for custom <a
 target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxmlxmlnodeclasstopic.asp">
XmlNode</a> adapter objects for <a target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxmlxmlreaderclasstopic.asp">
XmlReader</a> and <a target="_blank"
 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemXmlXPathXPathNavigatorClassTopic.asp">
XPathNavigator</a>, avoiding all re-parsing costs. </li>
  <li> <a target="_blank"
 href="http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2004/05/10/129106.aspx">XmlFirstUpperReader
and XmlFirstLowerWriter</a>: used in combination
usually for configuration files. Allows automatic case conversion to
match .NET and XML conventions, where the former uses PascalCasing and
the later camelCasing. Together, they provide roundtriping and
transparent processing while maintaining the natural casing of each
domain.</li>
  <li><a href="http://www.tkachenko.com/blog/archives/000333.html">XmlBaseAwareXmlTextReader</a>:
XmlTextReader, augmented to support <a
 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/">XML Base</a>.</li>
  <li><a
 href="///%20See:%20http://www.tkachenko.com/blog/archives/000112.html">XmlTransformingReader</a>:
XmlReader, transforming input XML stream according to given XSLT
stylesheet.</li>
</ul>
<p> All classes contain extensive tests to ensure its quality, as well
as the peer review among this highly focused group of XML lovers.</p>
