An XMLDataProvider can be used when your datasource is an XML file.
The following are some of the uses of XMLDataProvider.
-
XML can be pre-filtered using the XPath query of the XMLDataProvider.
-
It automatically reads the XML using a background thread without blocking the UI.
-
Data can be shared among the several controls.

If your XML uses Namespaces, then it is the convenient place to assign the XMLNamespaceManager.
