xml element names...

[Maersa]

hi all,

xml element names doesn't support names with whitespaces or symbol
characters etc,... but is there any .NET class that can help convert these
characters like hex form.... that is what XmlSchema does.
Would hate to have to find these characters one at a time...

thanks,

System.Convert ?
Or just do
foreach(char Ch in ForbiddenChars)
ClassName = ClassName.Replace(Ch,((int)Ch).ToString("X"));//You may have to
cast the Ch to string, though
that will convert a char to hex.

Maersa,
Have you tried either the EncodeName, EncodeLocalName, or EncodeNmToken
functions in the System.Xml.XmlConvert class?

Reading the description of EncodeName & EncodeLocalName its obvious what
they do, however its not obvious how they differ from EncodeNmToken.

Hope this helps
