_XDocument3.CreateDOM Method
Creates a new instance of the XML Document Object Model (DOM) in memory.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function CreateDOM As IXMLDOMDocument
'Usage
Dim instance As _XDocument3
Dim returnValue As IXMLDOMDocument
returnValue = instance.CreateDOM()
IXMLDOMDocument CreateDOM()
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.Xml.IXMLDOMDocument
An IXMLDOMDocument of the new instance of the XML Document Object Model (DOM).
Implements
Remarks
Using the CreateDOM method to create an instance of the XML DOM is equivalent to using the following method of creating a Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 5.0 DOMDocument object:
var objDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
Note
When automating InfoPath, the setProperty method of the IXMLDOMDocument2 object may fail for secondary data sources. To use the setProperty method, follow this example:
IXMLDOMDocument2 myDocument = (IXMLDOMDocument2) thisXDocument.CreateDOM();
myDocument.setProperty("SelectionNameSpaces",namespaceString);
Examples
// create a new XMLDOMDocument that can be used by InfoPath
IXMLDOMDocument newDOM = thisXDocument.CreateDOM();
// Get one node from the main DOM and add it to the new DOM
IXMLDOMNode referenceNode = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:group1");
newDOM.appendChild(referenceNode);
// create a new node that will be added to the new DOM
IXMLDOMNode newNode = newDOM.createNode(1,"my:Group2",referenceNode.namespaceURI);
// Set its value
newNode.text = "this is a group2 node";
// Set the SelectionNamespaces attribute with the namespace used in the new DOM
((IXMLDOMDocument2)newDOM).setProperty("SelectionNamespaces","xmlns:my='" + referenceNode.namespaceURI + "'");
// Select one mode from the new DOM and add the new Node as its child
IXMLDOMNode parentNode = newDOM.selectSingleNode("//my:group1");
parentNode.appendChild(newNode);
