The first thing you need to do is resolve the build errors - you have at least one starting with #include "iostream.h". You don't want to include this header because you already have the correct <iostream> header included. Next, check out the line:

Code:

---

bool ret = xmlDoc->load("C://Documents and Settings/admin/Desktop/Feb 19/bslides.Xml");

---

You'll get a runtime error on this line because paths in windows need backslashes ('\' instead of '/'). Also strings in C treat a backslash as an escape character so you need to double up on this (from '\' to '\\') to end up with:

Code:

---

bool ret = xmlDoc->load("C:\\Documents and Settings\\admin\\Desktop\\Feb 19\\bslides.Xml");

---

Try to make these changes and then post back and I'll tell you the other problems (there are two more).

TIP: Use w h i t e s p a c e. Indenting and putting whitespace in your code really makes it easier to read.

Consider the statement:

Code:

---

for (inti=0;i<numitems;i++)

---

It's way more easier to read, with a bit of whitespace

Code:

---

for (int i = 0; i < numitems; i++)

---

Whitespace is free, so there's no penalty for using it.
