    Value returned if successful.
  • S_FALSE (for get_dataType only)
    Value returned if the node is not typed.

General Remarks

This value depends on the value of the nodeType property of the IXMLDOMNode.

This member is an extension of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Document Object Model (DOM).

Value Description

NODE_ATTRIBUTE

Contains the string representation of the data type specifier included in the schema, or Null if no data type is specified.

NODE_CDATA_SECTION, NODE_COMMENT, NODE_DOCUMENT, NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT, NODE_DOCUMENT_TYPE, NODE_ENTITY, NODE_NOTATION, NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION, NODE_TEXT

Contains the constant string value "string." These node types do not have data types, so the dataType property cannot be set for these node types. Attempts to set this property are ignored.

NODE_ELEMENT

Contains the string representation of the data type specifier included on the instance of the element or in the schema, or Null if no data type is specified.

NODE_ENTITY_REFERENCE

Contains the string representation of the data type specifier for the referenced entity. This is limited to entities with a single data type on the root level element of the subtree corresponding to the entity. Contains Null if no data type is specified. It is not possible to set the data type of an entity reference. The data type must be set directly on the referenced element. Attempts to set the value of the dataType property are ignored.

This property is read/write, and applies to the following objects and interfaces:

IXMLDOMAttribute, IXMLDOMCDATASection, IXMLDOMCharacterData, IXMLDOMComment, DOMDocument, IXMLDOMDocumentFragment, IXMLDOMDocumentType, IXMLDOMElement, IXMLDOMEntity, IXMLDOMEntityReference, IXMLDOMNode, IXMLDOMNotation, IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction, IXMLDOMText, and IXTLRuntime
