System error when loading xml document

Simon Jefferies

Hello,

When I load an XML document using the LoadXml function, I get a "System
error" exception raised.

What causes this? the XML document is valid.

LoadXml doesn't validate at all so validity is not relevant.
I guess you do not get the System error with any attempt to use LoadXml
but with a specific input string parameter. Could you post that here if
it is short or otherwise maybe put it in a text file, upload that to a
server and post the URL?
Also tell us whether you are using .NET 1.0 or 1.1.

Hi Simon,

I've test the Xml file you provided. It seems that the cause is just the
XML file is not valid event not well-formed. Generally, we can first open a
xml file in IE browser to see whether it can be correctly displayed so as
to confirm whether it is well-formed.

#Checking for Well-Formed and Valid XML
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...ngforwell-form
edvalidxml.asp? frame=true

#Well-Formed XML Creation with the XmlTextWriter
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...-FormedXMLCrea
tionWithXmlText Writer.asp?fram e=true

After that we can use api to processing the XML document. I've attached the
modified Xml file in this message. Please have a check to see whether it
works. Thanks.

Hello,

I'm a bit confused as I've tried the original XML file in IE and it loads
correctly and I've stripped it down to the root item and it still fails.

I've looked at the attachment you've added, what did you change as I
couldn't see any changes in it?

Thanks

Hi Simon,

Here is the original Xml file you've attached:

</Item

=============== =============== ============

The end tag of the root element has been corrupt and after correct it, I
can load it correctly. I test via C# code. Can you correctly load the
XmlDocument via C# code? Or is there anything else cause the problem?
Please have a try and let me know if you have any futher finding. Thanks.

I have no corruption at my end on the end tag of the root element, I have
created a basic XML file containing just the following:

<Items></Items>

and this failed too.

I get a problem with reading the file using VB, C# and Managed C++ code.

IE error when trying to use plugin methods
