Strange error

Hello,

I am trying to a load a RSS with some really simple
code. However when I run the code I got this error:

'', hexadecimal value 0x1F, is an invalid character. Line
1, position 1.

Though the rss seems to me well formed. Here is the code
and the rss.

TestRSS("http://www-
106.ibm.com/developerworks/news/dw_webservices. rss")

Function TestRSS(ByVal strRSS As String)
Dim reader As New XmlTextReader(s trRSS)
' Load the XmlTextReader to the XmlDocument
Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument
Try
xmlDoc.Load(rea der)
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write( "ERR in Rss File:" & strRSS
& "<br>")
Response.Write( "Err: RSS File:" & ex.Message
& "<br>")
Response.Write( "Exiting function
ReadPosts:<br>" )
Exit Function
End Try

' load only the item nodes
Dim nodes As XmlNodeList = xmlDoc.SelectNo des
("/rss/channel/item")

' Now we have all posts
For Each node As XmlNode In nodes
Try

Response.Write( node("title").I nnerXml
& "<br>")
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write( "ERR in loading nodes: " &
ex.Message() & "<br>")
End Try
Next
End Function

Many thanks

If a document has is character value of 0x1F, then it is impossible for the
document to be well-formed XML. From the XML specification [1] here are the
valid character ranges:

Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] |
[#x10000-#x10FFFF]

That omits #x1F, so it's not XML.

Cheers,

I have an application that has been working just fine for a couple of years. It queries a SQL database and returns some formatted data back to the client.

Hello, I have a really strange problem. I'm unable to figure it out on my own. I parse very simple xml documents, without any check for their form. These files look very similar and are encoded in UTF-8. Now minidom is always able to parse these files with minidom.parse("file") . Now when fetching I use this expression: xmldoc.getElementsByTagName('DocNumb').firstChild.data.encode('latin1')

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

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
