Check if valid XML doc

[Adrian]

Hi
I have a text box where I can paste XML docs into and then send them
however sometimes the call fails I assume to incorrectly formatted text! it
fails on the line below:

doc.LoadXml(txtToSend.Text.ToString)

How can I check if the text constitutes a valid XML xml document before
loading it?

Thanks

I think you are checking. Look at the exception that is being thrown,
it probably tells you that your xml is poorly formatted. Catch the
exception and handle it accordingly.

You could attempt to load the document and catch the exception which is
thrown when loading fails.
