deleteData Method	Deletes specified data.
get Method	Returns a read-only XML Document Object Model (DOM) node that contains the <Schema> element.
getAttribute Method	Retrieves the value of the attribute.
getAttributeNode Method	Retrieves the attribute node.
getElementsByTagName Method (DOMDocument)	Returns a collection of elements that have the specified name.
getElementsByTagName Method (IXMLDOMElement)	Returns a list of all descendant elements that match the supplied name.
getNamedItem Method	Retrieves the attribute with the specified name.
getProperty Method (IXMLDOMDocument2)	Returns the default properties.
getProperty Method (IXMLDOMSelection)	Returns a property.
getQualifiedItem Method	Returns the attribute with the specified namespace and attribute name.
hasChildNodes Method	Returns True if this node has children.
hasFeature Method	Returns True if the specified version of the implementation supports the specified feature.
insertBefore Method	Inserts a child node to the left of the specified node or at the end of the list.
insertData Method	Inserts a string at the specified offset.
item Method (IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap)	Allows random access to individual nodes within the collection.
item Method (IXMLDOMNodeList)	Allows random access to individual nodes within the collection.
load Method	Loads an XML document from the specified location.
loadXML Method	Loads an XML document using the supplied string.
matches Method	Checks if the node that is passed is contained in the current collection.
nextNode Method (IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap)	Returns the next node in the collection.
nextNode Method (IXMLDOMNodeList)	Returns the next node in the collection.
nodeFromID Method	Returns the node that matches the ID attribute.
normalize Method	Normalizes all descendant elements by combining two or more adjacent text nodes into one unified text node.
peekNode Method	Gets the next node that nextNode Method (IXMLDOMNodeList) will return without advancing the list position.
remove Method	Removes the specified namespace from a collection.
removeAll Method	Removes all the nodes from the collection described by the IXMLDOMSelection.
removeAttribute Method	Removes or replaces the named attribute.
removeAttributeNode Method	Removes the specified attribute from this element.
removeChild Method	Removes the specified child node from the list of children and returns it.
removeNamedItem Method	Removes an attribute from the collection.
removeNext Method	Removes the next node.
removeQualifiedItem Method	Removes the attribute with the specified namespace and attribute name.
replaceChild Method	Replaces the specified old child node with the supplied new child node.
replaceData Method	Replaces the specified number of characters with the supplied string.
reset Method (IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap)	Resets the iterator.
reset Method (IXMLDOMNodeList)	Resets the iterator.
save Method	Saves an XML document to the specified location.
selectNodes Method	Applies the specified pattern-matching operation to this node's context and returns the list of matching nodes as IXMLDOMNodeList.
selectSingleNode Method	Applies the specified pattern-matching operation to this node's context and returns the first matching node.
setAttribute Method	Sets the value of the named attribute.
setAttributeNode Method	Sets or updates the supplied attribute node on this element.
setNamedItem Method	Adds the supplied node to the collection.
setProperty Method	Used for setting the SelectionLanguageServerHTTPRequest and SelectionNamespaces internal properties (flags).
setStartMode Method	Performs subsets of larger Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) by selecting the XSLT mode with which to start.
splitText Method	Splits this text node into two text nodes at the specified offset and inserts the new text node into the tree as a sibling that immediately follows this node.
substringData Method	Retrieves a substring of the full string from the specified range.
transformNode Method	Processes this node and its children using the supplied Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) style sheet and returns the resulting transformation.
transformNodeToObject Method	Processes this node and its children using the supplied Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) style sheet and returns the resulting transformation.
validate Method	Performs run-time validation on the currently loaded document using the currently loaded document type definition (DTD), schema, or schema collection.
