XML: Special Character in- and output [modified]
-
Hi all, I am trying to save a list of products in a XML database. But, when I try to read the xml file (outputting goes ok, using the XMLTextWriter) I get an error message telling me that there are illegal characters in a name and that the document can't be read. What can I do about this? I am trying to save the products as follows: (I am using Visual Basic.NET - VS2005)
[Groupname] [Brandname] [Productname] [Price]3,99[/Price] [ItemID]12345[/ItemID] [Description]""[/Description] [/Productname] [/Brandname] [/Groupname]And it is no option to not let people type special characters, since there are loads of brand- and productnames containing special characters (like é, ä, @ etc) Please help me out, :) --Zaegra--
