dotnet xml: Dear all,

I am using MS XML Parser 3.0, I want to know what will cause the
"setAttribute" fail in IXMLDOMElement ??

My program is:
extern CComQIPtr<IXMLDOMElement> elem;
ASSERT(elem); // this is a valid element.

That might be different reasons. Have you any additional information?
What are name and value?

I have a function is this:

bool SetAttrib(CComQIPtr<IXMLDOMElement> &_elem, CString _AttribName,
CString _AttribValue)
{
ASSERT(_elem); // Check for valid

_AttribValue.TrimLeft();
_AttribValue.TrimRight();

try {
BSTR name;
name = _AttribName.AllocSysString();
VARIANT value;
value.vt = VT_BSTR;
value.bstrVal = _AttribValue.AllocSysString();

HRESULT hr = _elem->setAttribute(name, value);
::SysFreeString(name);
::SysFreeString(value.bstrVal);
value.vt = VT_EMPTY;

if (hr == S_OK)
return true;
}
catch (_com_error &e)
{
dump_com_error(e);
}
return false;
}
