WsReadValue function (webservices.h)

Reads text from a Reader and parses it according to the specified value type.

The Reader reads from its current position up to the next Start or End element and parses them according to the specified value type. If the Reader is already positioned on a Start or End element the buffer remains empty.

Comments are skipped and CDATA content is treated the same as other element content.

Leading and trailing whitespaces are ignored. If the value cannot be parsed according to the specified value type, the function returns a WS_E_INVALID_FORMAT error code. (See Windows Web Services Return Values.)

Note  This function can fail for any of the reasons listed in WsReadNode.

 

Syntax

HRESULT WsReadValue(
  [in]           WS_XML_READER *reader,
  [in]           WS_VALUE_TYPE valueType,
                 void          *value,
  [in]           ULONG         valueSize,
  [in, optional] WS_ERROR      *error
);

Parameters

[in] reader

A pointer to the XML Reader from which the value is read.

[in] valueType

The text interpretation type.

value

A pointer to the parsed data if parsing was successful according to the specified value type. The size required is determined by value type. See WS_VALUE_TYPE for more information.

[in] valueSize

The byte size of the retrieved value.

[in, optional] error

A pointer to a WS_ERROR object where additional information about the error should be stored if the function fails.

Return value

This function can return one of these values.

Return code	Description
WS_E_INVALID_FORMAT	The input data was not in the expected format or did not have the expected value.
WS_E_QUOTA_EXCEEDED	A quota was exceeded.

Remarks

An example that reads an element containing an integer value.

// Advance the reader to the element
HRESULT hr = WsReadToStartElement(reader, localName, ns, NULL, error);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
    return hr;
}
// Advance past the element to the content
hr = WsReadStartElement(reader, error);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
    return hr;
}
// Read the content as an integer
__int32 i;
hr = WsReadValue(reader, WS_INT32_VALUE_TYPE, &i, sizeof(i), error);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
    return hr;
}
// Read the end element
hr = WsReadEndElement(reader, error);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
    return hr;
}
