Xml As Data Source

Is there any way to use xml file as a data source for a label?  Or can it be used in commander to populate prompts for the label mask?  We have a request where the label file name, printer name, data for the label are all in an xml that needs to be printed when the xml is saved in a particular folder.

  You should use Commander for this purpose.  Upon detection of a trigger two commands should be executed, the first to perform an XSL Transform on the XML, to put the trigger data into a BarTender readable format, and the second to perform the print job with the transformed data.

   

  Unfortunately there is no XML field mapper tool with BarTender/Commander, so you'll have to hand code the XSLT.  Here are some resources to help you:
