<Table>.ToXML (Function)

In french: <Table>.VersXML

Creates an XML file from the data found in a Table or TreeView Table control.

Remarks:

By default, a style sheet (".XSL" file) is automatically generated when creating the XML file.
The document entity of generated XML file is named WINDEV_TABLE.

Example

sFile is string
// File name
sFile = fSelect("", "", "Choose the export file", ...
"XML files (*.XML) *.xml", "xml", fselCreate + fselExist)
// The export is canceled if no name was specified
// Otherwise, export the content of TABLE_TABLE1
IF sFile <> "" THEN TableToXML(TABLE_TABLE1, sFile, taNoTitle)

sFile is string
// File name
sFile = CompleteDir(fExeDir()) + "MyXML" + ConnectionCount() + ".xml"
// The export is canceled if no name was specified
// Otherwise, export the content of TABLE_TABLE1
IF sFile <> "" THEN TableToXML(TABLE_TABLE1, sFile, taNoTitle)
