896 Part IX: Maintaining a Server in Windows SharePoint Services
Adding an XML FileData Source
FrontPage will automatically create a data source in the catalog for any XML file in
the site. This works the same as SharePoint lists and document libraries.
To add a new XML File data source
1. First you must have an XML file. You have the following options for obtaining
an XML file:
■ Create a new XML file. (In FrontPage 2003, create a new Text file and
then save it as XML.)
■ Search your hard drive for an XML file installed with some other sample.
(This is the option we took.)
■ Use an XML file you find on the Internet.
For this example, we will use an XML file available on the Internet called
cust-ord.xml.
More Info Download the actual XML file used in this example, and save
it on your local machine as cust-ord.xml. The File is available at http:
//www.sharepointcustomization.com/resources/whitepapers/webpartdocs/
cust-ord.xml.
A fragment from this XML file follows:
