Remarks

Creating a comment with this method is the same as using createNode where the type parameter value is NODE_COMMENT and no namespace is specified. You cannot specify a namespace with the createComment method.

Although this method creates the new object in the context of this document, it does not automatically add the new object to the document tree. In other words, although the ownerDocument property of the new node points to this document object, the parentNode property is set to Null. To add the new object, you must explicitly call one of the node insert methods, insertBefore method, replaceChild method, or appendChild Method.

The new object's nodeType property has the value NODE_COMMENT.

This method applies to the following objects and interfaces:

DOMDocument and IXMLDOMComment.

Requirements

Header	msxml2.h, msxml2.idl
Library	uuid.lib
