19.3 Building Composite XML Documents with XInclude.NET
Huge XML documents can be very unwieldy. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could create several smaller XML documents and combine them at runtime? The XInclude standard enables this by allowing you to include an external text or XML document within an XML document. This allows modular XML documents to be composed at runtime.
XInclude.NET implements XInclude for developers working in the .NET environment, letting them keep XML documents to a manageable size.
