The following example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and displays the node name for that node.
Imports interop_msxml
Imports Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop
On Error GoTo Err
' Declare variables.
Dim Server As New WMSServerClass()
Dim Playlist As IXMLDOMDocument
Dim Node As IXMLDOMNode
' Create a new playlist object.
Set Playlist = Server.CreatePlaylist
' Load a sample playlist file.
Playlist.Load ("file://c:\wmpub\wmroot\simple.wsx")
