how can I convert (char)02 into UTF8 string

[Daniel Rimmelzwaan]

Does anyone know how to convert a (char)02 into a UTF8 string that I can put
into an XML element? I've tried all examples that I could find in Visual
Studio help or in google, but I can't get it to work. The one that gives me
the answer will just make my day :).

Thanks,
Daniel.

Daniel,

I thought that if you specify the encoding on the XmlDocument class, and
then just add the text in string form, it will perform the encoding for you
automatically?

That's what we did, but when we create the element, we get an error saying
something about a special character not being allowed. We've since just
gotten rid of the characters (it was actually (char)02 and (char03) as start
and end delimiters of a status message from an external app), but I'd still
like to know how this works.

Daniel,

Did you try something like :

==
private void button1_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
string orig = "\u0002";
XmlTextWriter w = new XmlTextWriter(" c:\\test.xml",
new System.Text.UTF 8Encoding(false , true));

w.WriteElementS tring("elementX ", orig);
w.Close();

XmlTextReader r = new XmlTextReader(" c:\\test.xml");
string str2 = r.ReadElementSt ring("elementX" );

if (str2 == orig)
MessageBox.Show ("equal");
else
MessageBox.Show ("not equal");

r.Close();
}
==

The above code, when run, displays : "equal".
Is this what you are trying to do ?
