IXMLDOMDocument.loadXML (Visual Basic .NET)

The loadXML method loads the supplied string into an XML document.

Boolean = IXMLDOMDocument.loadXML(
  strXML As String
)

Arguments

strXML

[in] String containing the XML string to load into this XML document object. This string can contain an entire XML document or a well-formed fragment.

Return Value

Returns True if the XML load succeeded. If the load failed, the method returns False and sets the documentElement property of the IXMLDOMDocumentIXMLDOMDocument Object (Visual Basic .NET) to NULL.

Remarks

Calling load or loadXML on an existing document immediately discards the content of the document. The loadXML method will work only with UTF-8 encodings.

This method is an extension of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Document Object Model (DOM).

Example

Imports interop_msxml
Imports Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop

Dim Server As New WMSServerClass()
Dim Playlist As IXMLDOMDocument

' Load the specified XML.
Playlist.loadXML ("<?wsx version "1.0" ?><smil><media src = "welcome1.asf"/></smil>")
Exit Sub
