XML: & --> &

[Leszek]

Hi,

I believe there is in the .NET Library a method to convert a given string
containing not allowed characters (such as & or <) in XML files to
corresponding domains (&amp; etc).

Where can I find such a utility methods?

Thanks,
Leszek Taratuta

I'd just use the XmlDocument to do it. Create an XmlDocument object, load
in an empty element of known name length, and then set the DocumentElement's
InnerText property. Then examine the appropriate characters of its OuterXml
property, which will include all of the characters nicely escaped into
entities.

Of course, if there's actually a method somewhere that does this, that's
even better.

Hi Leszek,

I believe the KB article 316063 below is helpful:

Please feel free to let me know if you have any problems or concerns.

Have a nice day!

You could use the WriteString method of the XmlTextWriter class.
