Use_Legacy_XML_Lib

See Also: cXMLDOMDocument class

Purpose

Using this command allows a project to use the legacy MSXML 3 parser instead of the newer MSXML 6 XML parser.

Syntax

Use_Legacy_XML_Lib

What It Does

Using this command allows a project to use the legacy MSXML 3 parser instead of the newer MSXML 6 XML parser. By default, the system will now use msxml6.dll, and only if you use the backwards compatibility switch will it use the old MSXML library.

You would only use the old parser if there are compatibility issues that you do not want to address right now. If used, the XML classes will utilize the old MSXML library, and everything will work exactly as before using MSXML 3; the new methods will just silently become non-operational functions.

Usage Rules

  • Must be used before any use of the XML classes.
  • You cannot switch back and forth; it's a global setting, and once set, it cannot be switched back.
