Hi,
I use XmlSerializer to serialize xml string. It escapes xml special
charaters, like < and > to < and >. How can I stop XmlSerializer to escape
these charaters?
Thanks in advance!!!

If the XmlSerializer didn't escape the characters < and & (and for
compatibility >), then the result would not be well-formed XML. See section
2.4 of the XML specification [1]. Here's a portion of the spec:
"The ampersand character (&) and the left angle bracket (<) MUST NOT appear
in their literal form, except when used as markup delimiters, or within a
comment, a processing instruction, or a CDATA section. If they are needed
elsewhere, they MUST be escaped using either numeric character references or
the strings "&" and "<" respectively. ..."
Is there a reason you don't want to generate well-formed XML, or are you
trying to use the XmlSerializer to generate CDATA sections?

Hi Stuart,
Because my data that is going to be serialized is also a well-formed xml.
After the serialization, it is not xml string anymore. Is there anyway I can
restore it to xml string in .Net? Do we have any class in .Net to perform the
functions, like escape and unescape in javascript?
Thanks,
Cindy

Seems like you are trying to serialise XML string as 'text'. There could be
a couple of things that go wrong, I made a mistake myself once when setting
an XML string as an InnerText instead of InnerXml.
Check the XML object 'before' serialisation, it probably has been encoded
there not during serialisation.

I'm making a 6-tiered application that is using Xml to tie the various

be.
One layer, which I call a Data Persistence Layer, uses the
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer to transform our business/domain
objects into the appropriate Xml format.

I, too, am getting nasty FileNotFound exceptions. I've read, and

I know this is a frequently asked question but have tried several combinations and cant seem to figure this out.

namespaces.Add("", "");

I am using an XmlSerializer to save some settings and I have discovered that
when a string is saved containing a cr+nl it is replaced with just a newline
when loading back in. I am no expert with XML and I wonder if there is a
option I have to change to fix this. I have written some simple test code
to show the problem.
Can anyone please tell me why the cr+nl is being replaced by just a newline
and how to stop this happening?
Thanks

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
