Although Microsoft has moved on to VB.net, many developers are still using VB6. It has become increasingly hard to find VB6 XML info on, say, MSDN, so a book like this is essential.The code examples are clear and practical. The book manages to work well both as a how-to and a reference. If I were to nitpick, there are two things would mention.

As well as being an informative read the index is comprehensive already making my copy of the book a well thumbed reference.Recommended.

I recommend...
