XML treeview manipulation tool

Goal Provide a front end for the graphical manipulation of an underlying XML structure. Background I'm a professional developer also but do not have deep enough .NET XML knowledge to do this properly in the time I have. I want to use this as a learning exercise also so I will be looking to be involved in the solution as development progresses. Prerequisites Expert knowledge of .NET XML Xpath a necessity Implementation An explorer style interface will work best. Tree view on the left pane with a detail pane on the right. The detail pane will contain various controls embedded within panel controls. Deciding which panel control to make visible will depend on the currently selected node in the tree view. ALL code will be done using VB.NET. No exceptions. ## Deliverables Requirements Ability to deal with nodes & attributes. Drag & drop interface. Should allow for moving of nodes by drag&drop on the tree view. Notes The underlying XML structure is subject to change. In fact the supplied sample is fictitious. Workflow The XML structure is finalised (as much as possible). The GUI is created by placing the appropriate controls (textboxes, checkboxes etc) in the appropriate panel controls. These match up with the values present in the datasource. XSD I'm happy to live with the fact that some work has to be done in the IDE to create the field controls to match the underlying XML. Should the XML change the GUI would have to change also. This is fine. The only way round this would be to have the controls generated dynamically from a supplied XSD. Unless someone has a different approach or I have overlooked something XSD's are more bother than they are worth.
