Hi!

Is MSXML based on Document Object Model ?

//Tony

Don't know. I had a hard time getting MS-Word to generate generic XML
(it embedded a bunch of tags in the XML) so I switched to a freeware
program to generate XML. Maybe DOM is the same?

Use the namespaces (as you mentioned in your earlier post). Are you being
forced to use MSXML? (compliance with some legacy application)

MSXML is documented here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms763742(VS.85).aspx
As you can see, it has support for W3C DOM Level 1. It has never been
updated however to later W3C DOM Levels (2/3), instead it uses Microsoft
proprietary methods like createNode for instance to create elements or
attributes in namespaces, instead of the W3C DOM Level 2/3 methods
createElementNS or createAttributeNS.

But as has already been said, don't use MSXML with .NET/C#, use System.Xml.
