Dim success As Long

success = xml.LoadXmlFile("sample1.xml")

bFound = xml.FindChild2("books")
If (bFound = 0) Then
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "No books child found!" & vbCrLf
    Exit Sub
End If

Dim numChildren As Long
numChildren = xml.NumChildren

Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To numChildren - 1

    '  Navigate to the Nth book (we'll assume success...)
    bFound = xml.GetChild2(i)

    '  Display the book title:
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & xml.GetAttrValue("title") & vbCrLf

    '  Add a new integer attribute:
    '  Should never fail..
    success = xml.AddAttributeInt("bookId",i)

    '  Add a new unread="yes" attribute:
    success = xml.AddAttribute("unread","yes")

    '  Navigate back up to the parent:
    success = xml.GetParent2()

Next

'  Navigate back to the document root:
xml.GetRoot2 

'  Save the updated document:
success = xml.SaveXml("modified.xml")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & xml.LastErrorText & vbCrLf
    Exit Sub
End If
