Using LINQ to XML

Our next installment describing the implementation XML-RPC shows how to create the XML-RPC request message using LINQ to XML. The WordPress text editor is a bit unsuited for proper display of code, or XML for that matter, so we have posted the page on our website . We show the XML format of the request message together with the C# class which produces it. Coming next will be the C# code which will perform the HTTP to get the request message to the scripted.

Once we have the message on its way to the scripted object, the focus switches to LSL as we show how the message is handled. The Linden server will parse the XML and simply return the arguments to the script. The script will provide a return message which the Linden server will format into an XML reply message. To complete our work, we will show how LINQ to XML will parse the message and get the data which is returned.
