XmlDocument.Loa d(file) without entity resolving?

[Gustaf Liljegren]

I need to merge several XML files into one large. All of them has a DOCTYPE
tag, but the SYSTEM identifier points to a DTD that doesn't exist. (I use
the PUBLIC identifier with catalog files, so the SYSTEM identifiers has no
purpose in my application.)

Anyway, when I load each document, using XmlDocument.Loa d(file), I get a
FileNotFoundExc eption, because of the DTD pointer in the SYSTEM identifier.
I'd rather skip all the entity resolving and just read the well-formed XML.
Is there a simple way to do this?

Here's the code, in C#:

// Make a DOM Document of the included file
XmlDocument d = new XmlDocument();
d.Load(file);

// Import the node
XmlNode n = xmlDoc.ImportNo de(d.DocumentEl ement, true);
xmlDoc.Document Element.AppendC hild(n);

Thanks,

Gustaf

Try
d.XmlResolver = null;

PS. You may want take a look at XInclude when it comes to combining XML
docs.

Yes! Thank you!

It's XInclude I'm trying to implement. Maybe I should stop wasting time and
look for a finished implementation, but it's fun. :o)
