Alberto,
Thanks again. Everything worked fine.
By the way, as I use getNodeValue and getNodeName to process and assign them
to my C++ structures I need to parse the XMLCh* returned value to String^
buy I couldn't find any way to do it. Any idea?
When using Visual Studio 2005, XMLCh* should be just a typedef for
wchar_t* (and if the binary version doesn't do it already, you can
change the 'treat wchar_t as a built-in type' option in the Xerces
project and rebuild it), and you can build String objects from it, directly.

Jesse,
That's a good question..xD. There are many reasons why I am trying to use
Xerces in order to parse and create XML files. Maybe you'll find them
stupid.
Firstly, I am an absolute newbie with C++ as with Xerces (as you have
already realized). So, I did no research on XML classes offered by the .NET
framework as I didn't know them.
Secondly, I am developing an application based on a previous version which
was developed by another person, who based his app on Xerces to parse XML
files. The problem is that his design didn't take into account creating or
writing on XML files, only parsing and reading, so he used the SAX API.
Then, I had to switch from SAX to DOM and facing all the problems it implies
(creating a NEW app).
Thirdly, I thought I could find some help if I based my design on a open
source solution like Xerces is, and here it is.
Then, if you tell me that it is worth for me working with the System:XML
files, then I would think about it..haha. But then, what is Xerces for if
everybody can manage their XML files with these classes?
Cheers,
Javi

Just out of curiosity, if you're using managed code, why aren't you using
the System.XML classes?

Subject: Re: How to parse using DOM
Hi there.
Now I can compile the source code file where I have implemented (or tried
it...) the DOM parser, some errors have appeared. As they seem quite
simple
I hope you could help me again:
The method in file.cpp is like this (I have followed the guidelines
<http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/program-dom.html>on Xerces site, except
for the exception treatment...):
void contents_manager::load_guide(String^ xml_path){
XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
XercesDOMParser* parser = new XercesDOMParser();
parser->parse(xml_path);
DOMNode* root = parser->getDocument(); //child_aux1 will be the first
child of root
DOMNode* child_aux1, child_aux2, child_aux3, child_aux4, child_aux5,
child_aux6, child_aux7; // Compiling errors referring to this line
//...
In file.h this is included:
#include "../include/gincludes.h"
#include "../content/content.h"
#include <xercesc/dom/DOM.hpp>
#include <xercesc/dom/DOMImplementation.hpp>
#include <xercesc/dom/DOMImplementationLS.hpp>
#include <xercesc/dom/DOMWriter.hpp>
#include <xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp>
#include <xercesc/parsers/XercesDOMParser.hpp>
#include <xercesc/dom/DOM.hpp>
#include <xercesc/util/XMLString.hpp>
#include <xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp>
using namespace System;
XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE_USE
// class definition...
Then, when compiling a lot of errors appear saying that it can not be done
as I am working with abstracts, referring to the previous red line...

Any idea of what I need to do regarding this error?
By the way, as you may have seen on the arguments of my method, the
name/path of the XML file is received with String^ type, so, as I need to
have a char* as an argument for parse->parse(file_name), how can I parse
it?
Thank you very much,
Javi

This is not true. std::string and UTF-8 are fully compatible, as long
as
you make no assumptions about chopping things up at arbitrary indices,
or
the relationship of Unicode code points and UTF-8 code units. At any
rate,
with a double-byte or multi-byte locale code page, you'd have the same
issues.
I do not really understand what you want to say here. As far as I know
std::string stores strings in single byte units. In UTF-8 the units have
variable length between 1 and 4 bytes. So I cannot see a match here.
I thought to use UTF-8 with the STL you need something like
std::basic_string<UTFChar>.
Could you tell me, how to transcode the XMLChar* correctly using UTF-8?
