Remarks

The ReadDate method specifies the current element value as a date.
Date value in xml file should be only of this format:
2005-01-28T12:17:58
otherwise the ReadDate will invoke Invalid Procedure Call Error.

Example of "data.xml" file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Data description="example of ReadDate">
  <type>
    <date>2005-01-28T12:23:34</date>

  </type>

</Data>

 

VB6 code to get date value:

Dim pXMLStream As IXMLStream
Set pXMLStream = New XMLStream
  
pXMLStream.LoadFromFile App.Path + "\data.xml"

pXMLReader.OpenElement
pXMLReader.OpenElement

Dim dateValue As Date
dateValue = pXMLReader.ReadDate
