Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Function GetXml( _
    ByVal document As XmlDocument _
) As XmlElement

    XmlDocument document
);

public: abstract XmlElement^ GetXml(
    XmlDocument^ document
);

public abstract XmlElement GetXml(
    XmlDocument document
);

public abstract function GetXml(
     document : XmlDocument
) : XmlElement;

Parameters

document
An System.Xml.XmlDocument that the returned System.Xml.XmlElement will be added to eventually.

Return Value

An System.Xml.XmlElement that contains the token type.

Remarks

When building a SOAP message from XML elements returned from multiple objects that each have a GetXml method, use just one System.Xml.XmlDocument and pass it to each of the GetXml methods. This ensures that only one System.Xml.XmlDocument is loaded in memory for each SOAP message, instead of one for each object that implements the IXmlElement interface. This is because the GetXml method creates the returned System.Xml.XmlElement and sets its System.Xml.XmlElement.OwnerDocument property using the passed in System.Xml.XmlDocument.

Even though the System.Xml.XmlElement.OwnerDocument property is set to the passed in System.Xml.XmlDocument, the System.Xml.XmlElement is not added to the System.Xml.XmlDocument. To add the System.Xml.XmlElement to the System.Xml.XmlDocument, call the System.Xml.XmlNode.AppendChild(System.Xml.XmlNode) method for the appropriate System.Xml.XmlNode in the !:System.Xml.XmlElement.ChildNodes collection.
