I’m working on an application that makes editing and creating Riivolution XML files easy, and have run into a problem regarding the “XML” Guide in the “UserGuide-Framework” on page 32.

You have:

```auto
Dim root As XmlNode
root = xml.FirstChild.
```

Mine:

```auto
Dim WiiDisc As XmlNode
WiiDisc = xml.FirstChild
```

When I run my application, I get a bug saying “xml.FirstChild” doesn’t exist, and it doesn’t exist, I’ve checked the code completion suggestions. Why does the guide have non-existent code and what is the “right” code?

Thanks.

It is defined earlier in the chapter

```auto
Dim xml As New XMLDocument
```

That code is intended as a continuation of what came before.
