#import "msxml5.dll"
using namespace MSXML2;

inline void TESTHR( HRESULT _hr ) 
   { if FAILED(_hr) throw(_hr); }

This is the C/C++ sample:

void XMLDOMDocumentTypeSample()
{
   try
   {
      IXMLDOMDocumentPtr docPtr;

      //init
      TESTHR(CoInitialize(NULL)); 
      TESTHR(docPtr.CreateInstance(_T("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0")));

      // Load a document.
      _variant_t varXml(_T("D:\\xmlSample\\xmlTest\\book1.xml"));
      _variant_t varOut((bool)TRUE);
      varOut = docPtr->load(varXml);
      if ((bool)varOut == FALSE)
      {// Show error description - IXMLDOMParseError sample.
         IXMLDOMParseErrorPtr errPtr = docPtr->GetparseError();
      // Print error details.
      }
      else
      {
         IXMLDOMDocumentTypePtr docTypPtr = docPtr->doctype;
         if (docTypPtr)
         {
            _bstr_t bstrTyp(docTypPtr->name);
            _tprintf(_T("Document type name = %s\n"), (TCHAR*)bstrTyp);
         }
            }
   }
   catch (_com_error &e)
   {
      _tprintf(_T("Error:\n"));
      _tprintf(_T("Code = %08lx\n"), e.Error());
      _tprintf(_T("Code meaning = %s\n"), (TCHAR*) e.ErrorMessage());
      _tprintf(_T("Source = %s\n"), (TCHAR*) e.Source());
      _tprintf(_T("Error Description = %s\n"), (TCHAR*) e.Description());
   }
      catch(...)
   {
      _tprintf(_T("Unknown error!"));
   }
   CoUninitialize();
