XML and VB 6

How can VB 6 read an XML file?

Thanx.

One way is to make a reference to MS XML x.x and tinker with the DOM objects. Personally I've found it brutal, probably due to my lack of up-to-date documentation (and probably old libraries too). There has to be a better way.

I'd recommend *attempting* to search for info on this at Microsoft.com and/or on the web in general. You will probably have better luck with a general search since MS is shoving .Net down everyone's throats and it's hard to find anything about VS/VB6 at the MS site. I know there are great articles in Knowledge Base and MSDN online but I have terrible luck searching them at the MS site. Either I make poorly formed queries or their search engine sucks (I tend to think their search engine sucks since I do well on ANY type of other search).

Good luck,
Paul

Thanx Paul for the options. I really did'nt know about MS XML x.x with DOM. I'll try on it and the other option.

If you have the very latest ADO I believe it has support for tapping directly into XML...just need documentation to get it going probably.

If you have .Net ... it has the capacity to tap directly into XML and has more XML parsing objects (there are super simple ways to tap directly into XML and even do queries vs XML with datasets).
