standalone Property

Usage Syntax

oMXXMLWriter.standalone = boolValue
boolValue = oMXXMLWriter.standalone

Remarks

Boolean. Read/write. The default value is False. The standalone declaration indicates if a document relies on information from an external source, such as external document type definition (DTD), for its content.

If set to False, the XML parser will accept external resources, if there are any, without reporting an error. If set to True, the parser reports an error if the document references an external DTD or external entities.

Example

The following example reads books.xml and writes the value of the standalone attribute to "yes" in the XML declaration.

Dim rdr As New Msxml2.SAXXMLReader50
Dim cnth As IVBSAXContentHandler
Dim wrt As New MXXMLWriter50
wrt.indent = True
wrt.standalone = True
Set cnth = wrt
Set rdr.contentHandler = cnth
rdr.parseURL ("books.xml")
MsgBox wrt.output
