Create MIME Containing XML

See more MIME Examples

Calls SetBodyFromXml to load XML into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/xml", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the XML. Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long
success = 0

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

Dim mime As New ChilkatMime

' Add a few header fields:
success = mime.AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test")
success = mime.AddHeaderField("MyId","123")

Dim xmlData As String
xmlData = "<something>123</something>"

' Set the mime body via SetBodyFromXml.  This also
' has the intended side-effect of adding the Content-Type
' and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers.
success = mime.SetBodyFromXml(xmlData)

Debug.Print mime.GetMime()

' The MIME should look like this:

' Description: this is a test
' MyId: 123
' Content-Type: text/xml; 
' Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
' 
' <something>123</something>

' Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
' For example, to use "base64", do this:
mime.Encoding = "base64"

' Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
' transfer encoding:
Debug.Print mime.GetMime()

' It should look like this:

' Description: this is a test
' MyId: 123
' Content-Type: text/xml; 
' Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
