byteOrderMark Property
Determines whether to write the Byte Order Mark (BOM) to output.
When set to True, IMXWriter follows XML 1.0 specifications and outputs BOM for appropriate encoding. When set to False, IMXWriter is prohibited from putting BOM into the resulting XML document.
Implementation Syntax
Property Let IMXWriter_byteOrderMark(ByVal RHS As Boolean) Property Get IMXWriter_byteOrderMark() As Boolean
Usage Syntax
oMXXMLWriter.byteOrderMark = boolValue boolValue = oMXXMLWriter.byteOrderMark
Remarks
Boolean. Read/write. The byteOrderMark property has no effect for BSTR or DOM output.
Syntax
[proput] HRESULT byteOrderMark ( [in] VARIANT_BOOL fWriteByteOrderMark);
[propget] HRESULT byteOrderMark ( [out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL * fWriteByteOrderMark);
Parameters
- fWriteByteOrderMark
- A Boolean expression (True/False) specifying whether the feature is on or off.
Return Values
- S_OK
- The value returned if no errors are reported.
Remarks
The default of this property depends on the implementation. IMXWriter never outputs BOM if the output is set to a string. The byteOrderMark property has no effect for BSTR or DOM output.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| True | IMXWriter follows XML 1.0 specifications and outputs BOM for encoding. |
| False | IMXWriter is prohibited from putting BOM into the resulting XML document. |
The XSLProcessor object implements the byteOrderMark property as follows:
- When set, its value overrides the byte-order-mark setting that controls whether a byte-order-mark will precede Unicode encoded output.
- When read, its value is the current byte-order-mark setting. By default, this setting is a variant containing a value of True (VARIANT_TRUE).
