output Property

Determines the destination and the type of output for MXXMLWriter. By default, the output property is a BSTR (string) value.

Output for IMXWriter can be set as one of the following:

Any implementation of the IStream interface. (The resulting document will be written into the provided IStream.)
A string.
A DOMDocument object.

For more information about setting the output property to a DOMDocument object, see Create a DOMDocument Object from SAX Events

Setting the output property to the empty value (VT_EMPTY or " ") will return output to the internal string and reset it.
