Hi Everyone,

I am constructing an xml file, but when I try to read it there are some
extra slashes in the output. Can anoyone tell me why there are some extra
slashed and can i send the file to web service with those extra slashes.
below I am constructing the document


StringWriter sWriter;
SqlDataReader dr;

dr = SqlHelper.ExecuteReader(connectionString,"SP_Users Data_Get");
XmlTextWriter w;
sWriter = new StringWriter();
//w = new XmlTextWriter("C:/text.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
w= new XmlTextWriter(sWriter);

w.Formatting=Formatting.Indented;
w.Indentationfiltered=2;
w.WriteStartDocument(true);
w.WriteStartElement("test");
w.WriteStartElement("system");
w.WriteAttributeString("id", "UML");
w.WriteElementString("version", "1.0");
w.WriteStartElement("configuration");
w.WriteElementString("update_password","True");
w.WriteEndElement();
w.WriteStartElement("users");
while(dr.Read())
{
w.WriteStartElement("user");
w.WriteElementString("firstname", dr["first_name"].ToString());
w.WriteElementString("lastname", dr["last_name"].ToString());
w.WriteElementString("email", dr["email"].ToString());
w.WriteElementString("loginid", dr["Login"].ToString());

w.WriteElementString("status", "A");
w.WriteStartElement("roles");
w.WriteStartElement("role");
w.WriteString("Agent");
w.WriteStartElement("groups");
w.WriteStartElement("group");
w.WriteElementString("path", "Services/irvine/" +
dr["supervisor"].ToString());
w.WriteEndElement();
w.WriteEndElement();
w.WriteEndElement();
w.WriteEndElement();
w.WriteStartElement("relations");
w.WriteStartElement("relation");
w.WriteElementString("type", "UML");
w.WriteElementString("externalid", dr["Login"].ToString());
w.WriteEndElement();
w.WriteEndElement();
w.WriteEndElement();
}
w.WriteEndElement();
w.WriteEndDocument();
w.Close();


}

When I do sWriter.ToString , It gives me an output file like below:
"<?xml versionfiltered=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-16\"
standalone=\"yes\"?>\r\n<a>\r\n <system id=\"UMA\">\r\n
<version>1.0</version>\r\n <configuration>\r\n
<update_password>True</update_password>\r\n </configuration>\r\n <users>\r\n
<user>\r\n <firstname>

This is not the full xml, but as you can see I have \r\n slashes all over my
output xml. can I send my xml to web service like this.

Thanks.

Hey,

The '\r\n' are the symbols for new line, as you are finally packing with
XMLTextWriter class, these doesn't effect your file. Hence you can pass the
file to webservice, will not be a problem

To calrify you in details, better save that stream to a file on to the disk
and try to open it from IE. What do you see ?
