Requirements
| Header | msxml2.h, msxml2.idl |

General Remarks
When isResolving is True, external definitions are resolved at parse time. This allows default attributes and data types to be defined on elements from the schema and allows use of the DTD as a file inclusion mechanism.
This setting is independent of whether validation is to be performed, as indicated by the value of the validateOnParse Property. If externals cannot be resolved during validation, a validation error occurs. When the value of isResolving is False, externals are not resolved and validation is not performed.
A resolvable namespace is indicated by a namespace Universal Resource Identifier (URI) that begins with "x-schema:" as its prefix.
The default setting is True.
