Source: SaveDOM.frm

In this demonstration, we first create a DOM object and fill in the content by calling the loadXML method on the object. Then, we save the object to a file named "saved.xml".

Visual Basic Source File (SaveDOM.frm)

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim doc As New DOMDocument50
    doc.async = False
    doc.validateOnParse = False
    doc.resolveExternals = False
    
    doc.loadXML _
        "<?xml version='1.0'?>" + vbNewLine + _
        "<doc title='test'>" + vbNewLine + _
        "   <page num='1'>" + vbNewLine + _
        "      <para title='Saved at last'>" + vbNewLine + _
        "          This XML data is finally saved." + vbNewLine + _
        "      </para>" + vbNewLine + _
        "   </page>" + vbNewLine + _
        "   <page num='2'>" + vbNewLine + _
        "      <para>" + vbNewLine + _
        "          This page is intentionally left blank." + vbNewLine + _
        "      </para>" + vbNewLine + _
        "   </page>" + vbNewLine + _
        "</doc>" + vbNewLine
        
    Path = App.Path + "\saved.xml"
    doc.save Path
End Sub

To add SaveDOM.frm to the project

• Copy the code listing above. Paste it into the Visual Basic code editor as the form_load subroutine, replacing any code fragments that are already there.

Next, run the project. The result should be the output shown in the following topic.
