Creating Bar Charts With NPlot
You may have seen the article on ASP.NET Charting with NPlot on the 4 Guys From Rolla.com web site. Unfortunately, all of the sample code provided only shows you how to create line charts. If you visit the wiki for NPlot you will only find a plea for a BarPlot tutorial. I sent an email to one of the NPlot developers asking for some sample code for creating bar charts and he provided enough code for me to figure it out. I contributed several examples of NPlot bar charts in VB.NET and C# using the Northwind database and even one using XML as the data source but these examples have not been added to the wiki. I will provide you with enough information here to create bar charts in case someone is still looking for a solution.

XSLT For A DataSet Designer XSS File
XML is being used for a lot of configuration files and to store application and system settings. It is also used extensively to define the presentation layer; Windows Presentation Foundation and Mozilla's XML User Interface Language for example. Therefore it is often useful to be able to transform XML into a more readable format for documentation.

Eiffel For ASP.NET - SQL Server Example
First, let me introduce myself. I am a web developer and I've been using ASP.NET since 2001. I've only started to learn ASP.NET 2.0 and only started using Visual Studio 2005 this year. I am currently converting an ASP web application to ASP.NET 2.0. I have extensive technology notes which I maintain in a custom help collection integrated in the Microsoft Document Explorer. I've never worked with any other developers so nobody has ever benefited from my experience or seen my notes. I hope to share some of this material here.
