MSXML2 to .Net xml Conversion Problem

[Andy]

In the process of converting a working application and I have run into this problem. Not all the properties that I thought were standard are available in the .Net xml dom. In sample below childnodes no longer has a basename property. In addition length is changed to count and most likely it is 1 based now instead of zero.

Is there another more backward friendly object I should use.

Should I just include a reference and use MSXML2s dom. Any issues I should know before going down that path.

Thanks in advance.




VB 6 Way

Private Sub ProcessDBInfo(ByVal DBInfo As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode)
Dim i As Long

For i = 0 To DBInfo.childNodes.length - 1
Select Case DBInfo.childNodes(i).baseName
...

.Net Way ???


Private Sub ProcessDBInfo(ByVal DBInfo As xml.xmlNode)
Dim i As Long

For i = 0 To DBInfo.childNodes.Count - 1
Select Case DBInfo.childNodes(i).baseName <-- Not Available

Answer

The answer is.

It was renamed "LocalName" in the .NET framework, because this is what its called in the W3C DOM spec.
