Storing and displaying data is a common and essential task, if you are working with Applications. It doesn't matter whether you are working with desktop Applications or WebApplications. The saving and displaying process is nearly always required. In this article I will show you how you can easily use an ASP form to add data into a XML file and how you can retrieve this data to display it in a well formed table.

Here an image of the structure how my ASP page always looks like:
The first part contains a simple Form, and the second part contains the ASP Code which will do the saving for us. For a better understanding we will start with the Form.
