How to create a XML file at the server side?

[shannelleng]

hey everyone (:
greetings to you all.

i need some help here, im struggling with a school assignment. I am supposed to create 2 web portals, one reservation and the other supplier. i am doing reservation portal now. but im facing a problem.

this is the specifications given in my assignment:



1. For the Reservation Portal, your web application will allow the manager to create a Request for Quotation which is then stored as an XML file at the portal. Your web application will also allow the manager to view any quotations submitted by the suppliers. These quotations can be manually created for this early release.

2. For the Supplier Portal, your web application will allow a supplier to view Request for Quotation from the company. The RFQ can be manually created for this early release. You application will also allow the supplier to view any Reservation Order submitted by the company. Again, you can manually create orders for this early release.

is there anyone who can provide me with an idea of how to start this assignment? and how do you stored an XML file at the portal?

I'll really appreciate your help here (: thanks

loves,
shannelle.

First of all; which language are you going to use?

The mark-up language, XML, is pretty easy to use, and there's tons of frameworks, and other stuff to help you parsing, reading, writing, and so on to XML-files.

If you're using PHP, then f.ex. take a look at this: http://php.net/xml

i am using ASP.NET using microsoft visual studio. I heard from my classmate about using serialization of notepad doc into .xml file. but im not quite sure how is it really done.

I've no experience with ASP.net, but these links maybe falls in your interest, when talking serialization:
Serialization Version 2.0 - Part 1 - The Code Project - C# Programming
Implement XML serialization in the .NET Framework
4GuysFromRolla.com - XML Serialization in ASP.NET

And here's a link about ASP.net w/ XML - w/o serialization:
ASP.NET Data Binding with XML

This is the only way I can help you about this topic, I don't know much about it, so I've to link to some third part websites. I don't hope you mind.

With ASP you can easilly create an XML file by using FIle System Object. But first of all, which programming language do you want to use?
