problems getting the value of a float with XSD

Hi,
I'd like to get the value of a float from a XML file, but when I get the 
value with:

hr = pNodeAttrPrice->get_nodeValue(&value);

it's stored as a string and not as a float.


if(value.vt == VT_BSTR) //shows the value as a string
   printf("is a string %s\n", value.bstrVal);

printf("valor: %f\n", value.fltVal);  //shows 0.000



What I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Davinia.

These are the files I'm using:

/**********myfile.xml****************/
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Library xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="myfile.xsd">
	<Book price = "20.5"></Book>
</Library>

/******myfile.xsd**********/
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xsd:element name="Library">
      <xsd:complexType>
        <xsd:sequence>
          <xsd:element name="Book" maxOccurs="unbounded">
            <xsd:complexType>
		<xsd:attribute name="price" type="xsd:float" use="required"/>
            </xsd:complexType>
          </xsd:element>
        </xsd:sequence>
      </xsd:complexType>
    </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>



//File .cpp  I'm using MSXML 4.0 in VisualC++

      return NULL;

   CoUninitialize();

}
