C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_responseXML(IDispatch** ppBody);
Parameters

C/C++ Return Values
- S_OK

Remarks
The property is read-only. For security reasons, the parser validation features are always turned off to prevent Microsoft® XML Core Services (MSXML) 5.0 for Microsoft Office from attempting to download a document type definition (DTD) or XML-Data definition. If the response entity body is not valid XML, this property returns DOMDocument that was parsed so that you can access the error. This property does not return IXMLDOMParseError itself, but it is accessible from DOMDocument.
If the response was generated by an Active Server Pages (ASP) page and the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type was not correctly set to "text/xml" using the ASP method Response.ContentType, responseXML will be empty.
