No.

I've worked with XML before, but not with IDL. I don't know how their
classes are set up to handle things. I hate to say it, but I took a
quick look at the documentation, and the "Using the XML DOM classes"
looks like what you need -- there are examples, but in classic IDL
fashion, they write the examples using a sample.xml file which they
don't show you. So it's pretty hard to understand things without
knowing the format of the file they're using. You might try loading a
very simple XML file and playing with the methods they use. That's
about all I can recommend. I didn't even know before now that IDL even
supported XML. I'm going to have to look harder at this in the future.
