createCDATAsection with MSXML in LabView?

[PVV_BEN]

Hi everybody,

I have a problem using MSXML DOM in LabVIEW. After I have created a CDATA node filled with Data, I can't append this node as a child node to a parent node.

MSDN provides a solution in Visual Basic:

Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument30
Dim root As IXMLDOMElement
Dim CDATASection As IXMLDOMCDATASection
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.loadXML "<root><child/></root>"
If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
   Dim myErr
   Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
   MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason)
Else
   Set root = xmlDoc.documentElement
   Set CDATASection = xmlDoc.createCDATASection("Hello World!")
   root.appendChild CDATASection
   MsgBox (root.xml)
End If

How can I transfer this solution is LabVIEW? When I try this, I cannot use the output of the createCDATAsection as input for the appendchild method.

Any help would be appriciated. I google'd and searched this forim without success.

Thanks

Hi Marco,

thanks for this solution, it looks very interesting. However, meanwhile I have found another way for this problem:

First you should create the parentNode as a normal NODE_ELEMENT. After that create a Node as NODE_CDATA_SECTION and append it as a childnode. Now we can use the simple text property to write the data formatted in CDATA.

I have attached the solution.

Anyway I will test your solution, because it looks very interesting 🙂
