Hi,

you can't write a program in XML. XML is like HTML a language for describing the layout of a page, not a programming language.

You can't do this either without a DTD (Document Type Definition). In XML everyone can develop their own tags and how they shall be processed. It's not a static definition, each one has to develop his own definition and publish it, so others can use it.

I recommend you to read what XML is. One entry point to this topic is http://msdn.microsoft.com/isapi/msdnlib.idc?theURL=/library/techart/xmlfinal.htm.
