XML Data Islands OS Design Development (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

An XML data island is an XML document that exists within an HTML page. It allows you to script against the XML document without having to load the XML document through script or through the <OBJECT> tag. Almost anything that can be in a well-formed XML document can be inside a data island.

Sysgen Variables Description

SYSGEN_MSXML_DATA_ISLANDS

Adds the XML Data Islands Catalog item to your OS design. This item enables you to use script against an XML document without having to load it through scripting or the <OBJECT> tag.

In addition to SYSGEN_MSXML_DATA_ISLANDS, the MSHTML data-binding component must also be added to your OS design. This can be done by setting SYSGEN_IE or SYSGEN_IESAMPLE.
