Datatype of MSXML2.DOMDocument40 in VB?

[Chris Nelder]

Hi,

I'm experienced with ASP, but relatively new to VB
component development. When I try these lines:
Dim objXMLResponse As MSXML2.DOMDocument40
Dim objHTTP As MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP

The compiler gives an error "User-defined type not
defined."

I have checked my References, and both "Microsoft XML,
version 2.0" and "Microsoft XML, version 3.0" are checked
for inclusion.

Anybody know what the magic incantation is? (The docs
cleverly leave out any VB examples!)

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

From your code snippet, you are using the MSXML2.DOMDocument40 object. This
object is a MSXML 4.0 object, so you need to reference "Microsoft XML 4.0"
in the project, instead of other versions of MSXML. If you haven't already
installed MSXML 4.0, you can download and install it from the following
location:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?ur
l=/msdn-files/027/001/766/msdncompositedoc.xml

For more information about MSXML 4.0, you can check the following document:

Thanks! That did the trick. My problem was actually that I'm running the
VB compiler on one machine, but all the files I'm using are on another,
my development server. I thought that the VB compiler would see the
components installed on the dev server, not realizing it was only
looking at my local machine! Installing the 4.0 parser on this machine
solved the problem.
