Microsoft XML 2.5 SDK


 

reason Property

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Explains the reason for the error.

Syntax

strValue = oXMLDOMParseError.reason

Remarks

String. The property is read-only. It displays a description of the error. Validation errors also include the URL of the schema and the node within the schema that corresponds to the error.

Example

The following example attempts to load an XML document. If it encounters a parse error, it uses the parse error object's reason property to display the reason the error occurred:

Dim xmlDoc
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.load("c:\books.xml")
If xmlDoc.parseError.errorcode <> 0 Then
   MsgBox xmlDoc.parseError.reason
Else
  MsgBox xmlDoc.documentElement.xml
End If
