problem with loadXML("my_xml_string")

hi to all.
I'm loading an xml string into an IXMLDOMDocument via loadXML.
Why does it return to me the # -1.I'm assuming it means that it didn't load properly.

However ,I did it in a try/catch and it doesn't throw any _com_error exceptions,so obviously something else must be wrong.

Everything else involved in setting up the DOMDocument works.

Also when trying to get the root document I use the following code:

m_pDocRoot = pXMLDoc->documentElement;
pXMLDoc->get_documentElement(&m_pDocRoot);

if the DOMDocument would load correctly would that code be sufficient or does it need more??

Thanks

;) ;)

-1 do mean that your document is incorrect.
After getting -1 exam yourDoc->parseError object.

Code:

---


if (yourDoc->loadXML( yourStr )==-1){
// You can use this for error message
  yourDoc->parseError.reason;
  yourDoc->parseError.errorCode;
  yourDoc->parseError.linepos;
  yourDoc->parseError.line;
  yourDoc->parseError.srcText;
  ...
}

To load a XML document from a XML formatted string i made the following function.
To get the root node i used the queryInterface since getNode did not return the root node but simply nothing.

Code:

---

        IXMLDOMDocument* pXmlDocTemp        = NULL;
  IXMLDOMNode*    pXmlNodeTemp = NULL;
        BSTR bstrXmlString;
        HRESULT hr = 0;

    // Create an empty XML document
        // ******************************************************************************               
  hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_DOMDocument, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
                        IID_IXMLDOMDocument, (void**)&pXmlDocTemp);
        if (hr == S_OK) {
                VARIANT_BOOL varIsOk;
   
                bstrXmlString = XMLHelperFunctions::asciiToBSTR(l_sParamRef.c_str());

                // Loading XML String into the XML Document
                // ******************************************************************************                               
                hr = pXmlDocTemp->loadXML(bstrXmlString, &varIsOk);
                if ( hr == S_OK) {
               
                        // so get a pointer to the IXMLDOMNode interface
                        // ******************************************************************************               
                        hr =  pXmlDocTemp->QueryInterface(IID_IXMLDOMNode,(void**)&pXmlNodeTemp);
                        if ( hr != S_OK)
      {
                                safeRelease(&pXmlDocTemp);
                                safeRelease(&pXmlNodeTemp);
                        }
                }
                else {
                        safeRelease(&pXmlDocTemp);
                }
        }
        else {
                safeRelease(&pXmlDocTemp);
        }
        ::SysFreeString(bstrXmlString);
        bstrXmlString = NULL;
