Hi again,

In fact the property:
    pXMLNode->text;     [sorry, before i mentioned it as a function]
and the function:
    pXMLNode->get_text(&bstrText);
should work... so if in your program it doesn't I am lead to think that
there is a conflict with msxml versions...

Issue 1:
-----------
 How do you include the msxml library in your project?
I would say you should do something like:

//*** XML DOM Document ***//
#import "msxml4.dll"
using namespace MSXML2;

Issue 2:
-----------
I was now pasting your code into one project that i have and i got
errors like (for which i made a correction):

line:
   hr = pPlaylist->load(varFile, &bIsSuccessful);
error:
   error C2660: 'load' : function does not take 2 parameters for the
line
correction:
   bIsSuccessful = pPlaylist->load(varFile);


line:
   hr = pPlaylist->getElementsByTagName(bstrName, &pXMLNodeList);
error:
   error C2660: 'getElementsByTagName' : function does not take 2
parameters
correction:
   *pXMLNodeList = pPlaylist->getElementsByTagName(bstrName.m_str);

So making the include i described in "Issue 1" and the corrections i
described in "Issue2" i got the project compiling. I would suggest you
to look for more information about compatibilities of msxml libraries
(what you have installed in your computer).

One more hint that might be usefull: in Visual Studio, right click on
getElementsByTagName and select "Go to definition of
getElementsByTagName" and see which file is opened (for me is the
msxml4.dll file opened).

Sorry but i can't find a better explanation.
Elisabete.
