ResolveExternals Property

[This feature was first implemented for MSXML 5.0.]

Specifies whether external definitions, resolvable namespaces, external subsets of document type definitions (DTDs), and external entity references are to be resolved at the time the document is parsed, and independent of validation.

[JScript]

JScript Syntax

domObj.setProperty(strProp, vBool);
vBool = domObj.getProperty(strProp);

[Visual Basic]

Visual Basic Syntax

domObj.setProperty(strProp, vBool)
vBool = domObj.getProperty(strProp)

[C/C++]

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT setProperty(BSTR strProp, VARIANT vBool);
HRESULT getProperty(BSTR strProp", VARIANT* vBool);

Value

strProp: A BSTR string whose value is "ResolveExternals".
vBool: A VARIANT_BOOL value of true/false. The default value is true.

Remarks

ResolveExternals has a corresponding first-level property, resolveExternals, on an XML DOM. Both properties, as shown in the following JScript code fragments, have the same effect.

dom.setProperty("ResolveExternals", true);

and

dom.resolveExternals = true;

The second-level properties ValidateOnParse, ResolveExternals, UseInlineSchema, and NonValidatingSchemaUse all involve the validation of an XML document. Collectively, they influence the behavior of the parser in different ways. For more information see the Remarks section of the UseInlineSchema property.
