Hi,

I was wondering if there is a method in the XML classes that allows
you to encode a string so it is safe to stick in an XML file? I would
have thought so, but can't find it. Please tell me I don't have to do
a replace for each of the dissallowed characters!!

Thanks

XmlTextWriter has plenty of methods to create well-formed XML.

And if you really don't want to use anything from .NET and want do do your
own, there are only 2 characters that are not ok: '<' and '&'
