I am building a WinForms app that uses Web Services access to a server for
most of its data input/output, but I also need to persist some of its data
to the local disk (basically as a cache of some of the Web Services data) in
XML format.
Since the size of the XML local store could be rather large, I'd prefer to
have a random access mechanism for reading and writing to it. It seems that
XMLReader /XMLWriter are sequentially fast, but have no facility for random
access. XMLDocument can do random access, but only via a complete in-memory
copy of the data that I hold on disk. Correct?
Is there a truly random access alternative, for reading/writing individual
elements (or branches) of an XML file?
Thanks,
