Example

The following example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and displays the node name for that node.

using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;
using interop_msxml;

// Declare variables.
WMSServer Server;
IXMLDOMDocument Playlist;
IXMLDOMNode Node;

try {
    // Create a new WMSServer object.
    Server = new WMSServerClass();

    // Create a new playlist object.
    Playlist = Server.CreatePlaylist();

    // Load a sample playlist file.
    Playlist.load("file://c:\\wmpub\\wmroot\\simple.wsx");

    // Retrieve the first node and display the node name.
    Node = Playlist.documentElement.childNodes[0];
    MessageBox.Show(Node.nodeName.ToString());
}
catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: Handle exceptions.
}
