Script Syntax

objXMLDOMSchemaCol.add(namespaceURI, var);

Parameters

namespaceURI

The namespace to associate with the specified schema. The empty string, "", will associate the schema with the empty namespace, xmlns="".

This may be any string that can be used in an xmlns attribute, but it cannot contain entity references. The same white space normalization that occurs on the xmlns attribute also occurs on namespaceURI (that is, leading and trailing white space is trimmed, new lines are converted to spaces, and multiple adjacent white space characters are collapsed into one space).

var

This specifies the schema to load. It will load it synchronously and with resolveExternals=false and validateOnParse=false. This parameter can also take any DOMDocument as an argument.

This argument can be Null, which results in the removal of any schema for the specified namespaces. If the schema is an IXMLDOMNode, the entire document the node belongs to will be preserved.

Example

The following script example attaches a schema to an XML document.

var xmldoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.5.0");
var SchemaCache = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLSchemaCache.5.0");

xmldoc.async = false;
xmldoc.validateOnParse = false;
SchemaCache.add("x-schema:books", "c:\\books.xsd");
xmldoc.schemas = SchemaCache;
// The document will load only if a valid schema is attached to the xml
// file.
xmldoc.load("c:\\books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   alert(xmldoc.xml) ;
}

Visual Basic Syntax

objXMLDOMSchemaCol.add(namespaceURI, var)

Parameters

namespaceURI

This is the namespace to associate with the specified schema. The empty string, "", will associate the schema with the empty namespace, xmlns="".

This may be any string that can be used in an xmlns attribute, but it cannot contain entity references. The same white space normalization that occurs on the xmlns attribute also occurs on namespaceURI (that is, leading and trailing white space is trimmed, new lines are converted to spaces, and multiple adjacent white space characters are collapsed into one space).

var

Specifies the schema to load. It will load it synchronously and with resolveExternals=false and validateOnParse=false. The schema parameter can also be any DOMDocument.

This argument can be Null, which results in the removal of any schema for the specified namespaces. If the schema is an IXMLDOMNode, the entire document the node belongs to will be preserved.

Example

The following Visual Basic example attaches a schema to an XML document.

Dim xmldoc As New Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument50
Dim SchemaCache As New Msxml2.XMLSchemaCache50

xmldoc.async = False
xmldoc.validateOnParse = True
SchemaCache.Add "x-schema:books", "c:\books.xsd"
Set xmldoc.schemas = SchemaCache
' The document will load only if a valid schema is attached to the xml
' file.
xmldoc.Load "c:\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 add(BSTR namespaceURI, VARIANT var);

Parameters

namespaceURI [in]

The namespace to associate with the specified schema.

The empty string, "", will associate the schema with the empty namespace, xmlns="". This may be any string that can be used in an xmlns attribute, but it cannot contain entity references. The same white space normalization that occurs on the xmlns attribute also occurs on this parameter (that is, leading and trailing white space is trimmed, new lines are converted to spaces, and multiple adjacent white space characters are collapsed into one space).

var [in]

This specifies the schema. It can be a BSTR, in which case it points to the URL to load. It will load it synchronously and with resolveExternals=false and validateOnParse=false. The var parameter can also be any DOMDocument.

This argument can be Null, which results in the removal of any schema for the specified namespaces. If the schema is an IXMLDOMNode, the entire document the node belongs to will be preserved.

C/C++ Return Values

If this call fails, the collection remains unchanged. E_FAIL is returned if:

• The collection is read-only.
• The document is not a recognized schema.
• An error occurs when compiling the schema.
• The ready state of the document is not 4.

If it was loading a schema and encountered a parse error, then the parse error reason is returned in the IErrorInfo. If the VARIANT argument contains an invalid value, E_INVALIDARG is returned.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "tchar.h"
