Comparing 2 DOM objects

[Nick]

I have a scenario, wherein I've loaded 2 XMLDocument objects with 2 different
XML Strings. Apart from traversing down through the DOM, is there any way I
can compare whether the XML's within these DOM objects are identical?

Here's the piece of code that I hvae written as yet:

Dim domTestReqXML As XmlDocument
Dim domGenReqXML As XmlDocument

domTestReqXML = New XmlDocument
domGenReqXML = New XmlDocument

domGenReqXML.Lo adXml(strGenReq XML)
domTestReqXML.L oadXml(strTestR eqXML)

Here I do not have a .Compare or .Equals option with the DOM. Is there some
other way to do this, save for parsing it?

Cheers!
Nick
