Hi Guys: I am starting to learn xml and xbrl to be specific. I'm reading everything I can find on the subject as it relates to anything Visual Studio related. The general xml is documented, as usual, piecemeal in a thousand places but at least it is out there. Xbrl is another matter. I have found not so much as a single example of using it with a Vb.net nor C# project. I want to just read in the xbrl from the edgar database and then perform analysis on the various company financial reports. Does anyone have any experience at all with xbrl and getting the necessary resources into a Vb or C# project? Is there a book, article or anything at all that has any technical examples? I've spent the better part of 2 days googling and quickly running out of search ideas. I called the local Community College but that is also fruitless. Can anyone point me to something, classes, books, articles, projects or specialized prayers to a well connected Saint? Thanks: Rick Farmington Mich. USA
