Specifies whether asynchronous download is permitted.
Script Syntax
boolValue = oXMLDOMDocument.async;
objXMLDOMDocument.async = boolValue;
Example
The following example sets the async property of a DOMDocument object to false before loading books.xml.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
WScript.Echo(xmlDoc.xml);
}
Visual Basic Syntax
boolValue = oXMLDOMDocument.async
objXMLDOMDocument.async = boolValue
Example
The following example sets the async property of a DOMDocument object to false before loading books.xml.
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument30
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.Load App.Path & "\books.xml"
If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
Dim myErr
Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason)
Else
MsgBox xmlDoc.xml
End If
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_async(
VARIANT_BOOL *isAsync);
HRESULT put_async(
VARIANT_BOOL isAsync);Parameters
- isAsync[out][in]
-
True if asynchronous download is permitted; False if not.
C/C++ Return Values
- S_OK
-
The value returned if successful.
- E_INVALIDARG (for get_async only)
-
The value returned if isAsync is Null.
Remarks
Boolean. The property is read/write. Returns True if asynchronous download is permitted; False if not. Default is True.
When set to True, the load method returns control to the caller before the download is finished. You can then use the readyState property to check the status of the download. You can also attach an onreadystatechange handler or connect to the onreadystatechange event to be notified when the ready state changes so that you know when the download is complete.
