objXMLDOMDocument.validateOnParse = boolValue;

Example

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.validateOnParse = true;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
}

Visual Basic Syntax

boolValue = oXMLDOMDocument.validateOnParse
objXMLDOMDocument.validateOnParse = boolValue

Example

Visual Basic

Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument30
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.validateOnParse = True
xmlDoc.Load "books.xml"
If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then

   Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
   MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason)
End If

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT get_validateOnParse(
    VARIANT_BOOL *isValidating);
HRESULT put_validateOnParse(

Parameters

S_OK: The value returned if successful.

E_INVALIDARG (for get_validateOnParseonly): The value returned if the isValidating parameter is Null.
