XML “child” Defined
This post clarifies the meaning of “child”. An XML node may have 0 or more child nodes. A child node is a direct descendent of the parent (i.e. it is one level below the parent node). Methods such as NumChildrenHavingTag will return the number of direct descendents (i.e. nodes that are exactly one level below […]
Google that Error Message
Debugging Hint: In any programming language, in any environment, regardless of whether it’s a Chilkat error message or something from Microsoft, if you don’t understand the error message try Googling it.

More about META Refresh: Meta refresh is a method of instructing a web browser to […]
