Problem with Attribute() ??

[Stuart Grassie]

Hello,
I'm trying to use tinyxml to parse an xml file and load data into my project (and eventually save it). I want to use the value of the id of the attribute in a treenode. So far I have this:

TiXmlDocument     *xmlDoc = new TiXmlDocument("baseline.xml");
xmlDoc->LoadFile();

TiXmlElement *xClient = 0;
xClient = xmlDoc->FirstChildElement("client");

//add to treenode, under baselines node
Node1 = TreeView->Items->Item[1]; //second node in tree view
TreeView->Items->AddChild(Node1,xClient->Attribute("id"));

but when I compile the app (using borland c++ builder 6 enterprise), I get an error that says:

Method called on invalid object
- attempt to access 104 byte(s) at 0x0000000
- 0x0000110C
- TiXmlElement::Attribute()
- TbaseLiner::TbaseLiner(class:: TComponent *)
- 0400F59A4
- WinMain(void*,void *,char*,int)
- 0x3267E52F

As far as I can see, what I'm doing should work? Anyone have any suggestions?

Ok, after some reading I've managed to do what I wanted another way, but still, I'm sure what I did earlier should have worked?

I think the error is pretty clear in this case. Take a look at the return value of xmlDoc->FirstChildElement("client");

What does your XML data look like?
