XmlGetXml Function

Action

Returns the XML representation of the passed node/document handle. Ensure that the string buffer is large enough to hold the XML. If you pass a document handle you get the XML representation of the whole document. If you pass a node handle, you will get the representation of the whole node (with all child nodes).
