How to normalize single and double quotes using XmlSerializer?

When using XmlSerializer, I notice that it does not normalize the
single quote and double quote characters, i.e. does not change ' to
' and " to &quot. However, it does normalize other characters,
like changing ampersand to &

Here is my code:
---- start of code --------

MyClass *myClass = MyClass() ;
XmlSerializer *xs = new XmlSerializer( __typeof( MyClass ) ) ;
StringWriter *sw = new StringWriter() ;

xs->Serialize( sw, myClass ) ;

String xmlResult = sw->ToString() ;

---- end of code --------

Is this a inherent property of XmlSerializer that cannot be changed?
If the answer is yes, is there other .Net classes that will provide
normalization for single and double quotes? Thanks.

That's because only & and < characters *must* be escaped in XML.

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to scan a block of text and replace all the double quotes (") with single quotes ('). I'm using PHP to pull text out of a mySQL table and then feed the text into a javascript function called by onClick. The problem is that the text may contain single or double quotes, which screws up the javascript. I eliminated the single quote problem by running the text through addslashes, but the double quotes are a...

This data gets into having a lot of symbols used, etc. So rather than go through and replace these quotes...

Hi, I need to replace all the double quotes (") in a textbox with single quotes ('). I used this code text= Replace(text, """", "'" This works fine (for normal double quotes).The problem comes in when you copy a double quote from MS Word and paste it in the text box. What happens is the double quote becomes slanted (“) so my code above can't filter it. I tried to do this text= Replace(text, "““","'")
