' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' First build a sample (but incomplete) GovTalkMessage.
' You can replace this code with a call to LoadXml or LoadXmlFile..
' 
' Note: The online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/xmlCreate.cshtml
' can be used to generate XML code that creates a given XML document.
