Response.Write for a XML string

Guest · Sep 13, 2004

All,

I have a well form block of XML that is stored in a C# string type and I
just simply want to display it in the browser using Response.Write but when I
try this I get the following error:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and
then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

musk,

Basically, your XML is not well-formed, so the browser has problem
displaying it. The browser, by default, applies a stylesheet to the XML
document to show it with the nice tree structure that you are accustomed to.

Fix the errors in the XML returned, and it should work fine.

Hope this helps.

Response.Write (xml);

msuk,

You also need to set the ContentType property on the response to
"text/xml".

Try to clear the response output stream prior to
writing the XML stream.
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
Response.Write(xml.ToString());

If that does not work. Hmm.
Take the XML that you write, place it in a text file and save with XML
extension.
Open in your browser just to see that it works as it should.
I know at least Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox both apply builtin
stylesheets to
standalone XML files, so i recommend that you use any of those.

Hi,

Sorry for the typo's but using the following I dont get the XML structure
but just the text "Message"

// Put user code to initialize the page here
StringBuilder xml = new StringBuilder();
xml.Append ("<?xml version=" + "\"" + "1.0" + "\"" + "?>\r\n");
xml.Append ("<VirusChecker>\r\n");
xml.Append ("<Scan>Message</Scan>\r\n");
xml.Append ("</VirusChecker>\r\n");
Response.Write (xml.ToString());

How can I display the XML structure?
Thanks

Hi again,

My C# component returns the XML string that I write out to file and when I
open it in my brower it seems to be fine apart from a base64 encoded tag I
have see below

<file dt:dt="bin.base64">0M8R4KGxG....

that is truncated but if I open the file in notepad it is all there could
this be causing the problem? How can I display the complete file tag
containg in Internet explorer?
