addCollection Method

Adds all the schemas from another collection into this collection, replacing any schemas that collide on the same namespace URI.

objXMLDOMSchemaCache.addCollection(objXMLDOMSchemaCache)

Parameters

objXMLDOMSchemaCollection

The collection containing the schemas to add.

Remarks

There is no guarantee that the two collections will return exactly the same schema objects—the collection is free to clone them if necessary.

Adding a collection to itself has no effect.

Example

Dim xmldoc As New MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument
Dim xsldoc As New MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument
Dim SchemaCache As New MSXML2.XMLSchemaCache
Dim SchemaCache2 As New MSXML2.XMLSchemaCache

xmldoc.loadXML "<root><bar>bar</bar></root>"

xsldoc.async = False
xsldoc.validateOnParse = False
SchemaCache.Add "x-schema:books", "d:\inetpub\wwwroot\bookschema.xml"
SchemaCache2.addCollection SchemaCache
SchemaCache2.Add "x-schema:books", "d:\inetpub\wwwroot\newbookschema.xml"
Set xsldoc.schemas = SchemaCache2
' The document will load only if a valid schema is attached to the xml 
' file.

xsldoc.Load "d:\inetpub\wwwroot\samplexmldtd.xml"

MsgBox xsldoc.xml

d:\inetpub\wwwroot\samplexmldtd.xml
