Xml special character

[Soundman32 2]

Sorry, forgot to tick the ignore HTML box: Can I get the special xml strings (< & etc) directly instead of being translated? For example, given the data "RCI>", the code: xmlReader.ReadStartElement("DATA"); data = xmlReader.ReadString(); xmlReader.ReadEndElement(); Gives: "RCI>". Can I get the raw "RCI>" and if so, how? Thanks

Try this u will get "RCI>" xmlReader.ReadInnerXml()

pass each string in the following function, and you will always get the right result:

        Public Function MakeXMLString(ByVal text As String) As String
            text = text.Replace("&", "&")
            text = text.Replace("'", "'")
            text = text.Replace("""", """)
            text = text.Replace("<", "&lt;")
            text = text.Replace(">", "&gt;")
            Return text
        End Function

good luck!
