async Property

Specifies if asynchronous download is permitted.

[Script]

Script Syntax

boolValue = oXMLDOMDocument.async;
objXMLDOMDocument.async = boolValue;

Example

The following example sets the async property of a DOMDocument object to False before loading sample.xml.

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
alert(xmlDoc.xml);

[Visual Basic]

Visual Basic Syntax

boolValue = oXMLDOMDocument.async
objXMLDOMDocument.async = boolValue

Example

The following example sets the async property of a DOMDocument object to False before loading sample.xml.

Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument40
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml")
MsgBox xmlDoc.xml

[C/C++]

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT get_async(
    VARIANT_BOOL *isAsync);
HRESULT put_async(
    VARIANT_BOOL isAsync);

Parameters

isAsync [out][in]: True if asynchronous download is permitted; False if not.

C/C++ Return Values

S_OK: The value returned if successful.
E_INVALIDARG (for get_async only): The value returned if isAsync is Null.

Remarks

Boolean. The property is read/write. Returns True if asynchronous download is permitted; False if not. Default is True.

When set to True, the load method returns control to the caller before the download is finished. You can then use the readyState property to check the status of the download. You can also attach an onreadystatechange handler or connect to the onreadystatechange event to be notified when the ready state changes so that you know when the download is complete.
