Notes

1. The sample shows how to create a simple XML document with the following
  structure:

  <Customers>
     <customer id=345>
       <name FirstName="Jane" LastName="Doe"/>      
       <orders>
         <order Date=07/16/98 ProductName="Visual Basic" />
         <order Date=07/23/98 ProductName="Visual C++" />
       </orders>
    </customer>
  </Customers>

2. Inside the sample, the majority of the work is accomplished within the
  BuildTree() function. Notice that the sample also contains the following two
  structures that are defined to facilitate the building of the tree:

  a. XMLDocTreeBuilderInstrEnum: An enumeration that describes the node type.

  b. XMLDocSourceData: The actual data used to create the node. The BuildTree()
     function accepts an array of the XMLDocSourceData datatypes and uses this
     array to build XMLDOMDocument.

3. Inline comments are available on major steps.

4. On Windows NT 4.0 platform, if you download the NT 5.0 header files for XML
  samples and you get the following compiler errors:

  c:\workshop\include\nt50\ocidl.h(3233) : error C2061: syntax error :
  identifier 'IPropertyBag'

  You need to alter the order of the new Windows 2000 header directories to the
  end of the search path.

5. The code sample uses #import on msxml.dll, which is for the MSXML 2.5 parser.
  If you have the MSXML 2.6 or MSXML 3.0 parser installed on the system,
  comment out the following code block:

  #import "msxml.dll" 
  using namespace MSXML;

  and add following correspondingly:

  #import "msxml2.dll"  //msxml 2.6 parser
  using namespace MSXML2;

  or 

  #import "msxml3.dll"  //msxml 3.0 parser
  using namespace MSXML2;

  or

  #import "msxml4.dll" //msxml 4.0 parser
  using namespace MSXML2;
