Description

EntityReference objects are used when an entity reference is in the source document, or when the programmer wishes to create an entity reference. The processor may choose to expand all entity references at the time of the document's loading. The resolution of the children of the EntityReference (the replacement value of the referenced Entity) may only be evaluated when necessary. Actions by the programmer (such as returning the phChildNodes property of an EntityReference node) force the evaluation to occur.

Using the XML Classes

The cXmlDomDocument class is the starting point for most XML processing. Refer to the cXmlDomDocument class for more information about the XML Document Object Model (DOM) and using XML within DataFlex. Samples are provided in this section.
