Using IXMLDocument from XMLDoc it's easy enough to generate XML like this: - <root> <node attr1="hello" attr2="world" /> </root> However, this is not what I want. How do I generate XML like this: - <root> <node id="XXX"> <attr1>"hello"</attr1> <attr2>"world"</aatr2> </node> <node id="YYY"> <attr1>"good-bye"</attr1> <attr2>"cruel world"</aatr2> </node> </root> Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 11:34 pm    Post subject: Re: How to save each field as an element?

And how would you parse it? Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 4:12 am    Post subject: Re: How to save each field as an element?

Very nice. And how would you parse it? Use the IXMLNode's ChildNodes list. Please read the documentation. IXMLDocument and IXMLNode are fully described. Not in D6 Pro they're not. As I said earlier, I'm flying in the dark. 99% of the XML documentation was removed by Borland and the other 1% says "Enterprise Support" even though Borland did in fact supply all the XML?.pas files *except* for XMLIntf.pas which actually exposes the interfaces. I'm relying heavily on Googling for code snippets and bits and pieces from CodeCentral but they're far from complete as most simply assume you have the documentation. It's incredibly time consuming and wasteful. Since XMLIntf.pas is missing, although XMLIntf.dcu is present, without code completion I wouldn't have been able to get as far as I have, although even code completion doesn't give me everything since there's no way I can, for example, find the possible values for something like TXMLDocOptions as Find Declaration naturally fails. What I need is a tutorial program like the one I wrote some years ago for ADOX (http://cc.codegear.com/Item/15292).
