XML Document Object Model (DOM)

 XML Document Object Model (DOM)

Develop a Windows Forms application that does following:
1.      Reads the sample .xml file (given above) and displays its contents in a Label control.
2.      Displays all the titles (for books) in a ListBox control.
 .      Deletes the book for the selected title from the ListBox. (use a delete button)

4.      Append a complete book element to the .xml file (use text boxes to enter values)

       Sample XML File

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <bookstore>
    <book>
      <title>World History</title>
      <publisher>MSPress</publisher>
      <authors>
        <author>Carson</author>
      </authors>
    </book>
    <book>
      <title>C++ for Dummies</title>
      <publisher>Prentice Hall</publisher>
      <authors>
        <author>A. Levine</author>
        <author>B. Levine</author>
      </authors>
    </book>
    <book>
      <title>Cooking Tips</title>
      <publisher>Anaar Kali Publishers</publisher>
      <authors>
        <author>Shaista Alam</author>
      </authors>
    </book>
  </bookstore>
