Need to get value of XML Attribute in VB 6

[acmeyer]

Hi

I have the following snippet of XML code. I need to get ahold of the attribute value for AddressStateTC. How do I do this in VB6. I know how to get a hold of all of the element values but the attribute value is eluding me.

Thanks In Advance


- <Address>
<AddressKey>1</AddressKey>
<AddressTypeCode tc="901">MAILING</AddressTypeCode>
<Line1>1 Baghdad Road</Line1>
<City>Paris</City>
<AddressState>France</AddressState>
<AddressStateTC tc="799" />

Here is a small example. However, the key to pulling out values from a DOM Document is to know where you are at in the tree (context node).

Option Explicit
Private xmlSource As DOMDocument

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MsgBox AttributeVal("id")
End Sub

Private Function AttributeVal(ByVal sAttribute As String)
    Dim xmlAttr As IXMLDOMAttribute
    Set xmlAttr = xmlSource.selectSingleNode("//MESSAGE").Attributes.getNamedItem(sAttribute)
    If Not xmlAttr Is Nothing Then
        AttributeVal = xmlAttr.Text
    End If
End Function

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Set xmlSource = New DOMDocument
    xmlSource.loadXML "<TEST><MESSAGE id='5'/></TEST>"
End Sub
