With AMSXML
..Formatting = Formatting.Indented

..IndentChar = " "
..WriteStartDocument()
..WriteDocType("SOGenericInterchange", Nothing, "SOGenericInterchange.dtd",
Nothing)
..WriteStartElement("SOGenericInterchange")
End With

End Sub
Private Sub InterchangeHeaderIdentification()
Try
With AMSXML
..WriteStartElement("InterchangeHeaderIdentificati on")
..WriteElementString("senderID", strSenderid)
..WriteElementString("interchangeControlReference" , strFilename)
..WriteElementString("recipientID", strReceiveId) <--- problem here .
..WriteElementString("payerID", "")
..WriteEndElement()

In order to store non-ANSI characters in xml file, you need to define
encoding.
This first line of your xml file should be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
or other encoding matches your language.

Please show how you are constructing the AMSXML writer. It should be
something like this:

new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(filename, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)

Agnes,

Can you put a breakpoint to see what is in strReceiveId variable?

I made a small application to test, it can write and read Chinese or other
characters OK:
Dim writer As New Xml.XmlTextWriter("test.xml", Encoding.UTF8)

writer.WriteStartDocument()

writer.WriteStartElement("node1")

writer.WriteElementString("English", TextBox1.Text)

writer.WriteElementString("Chinese", TextBox2.Text)

writer.WriteEndElement()

writer.WriteEndDocument()

writer.Flush()

writer.Close()

IF i set breakpoint, I can see my chinese character in watch window.
However, if i use IE or notepad to read it.
The chinese character still cannot show.

How big is your xml file? Can you attach it here?

However, if i use IE or notepad to read it. The chinese character
still cannot show. "Wencheng Magiya"

Try this: Repeat your test using IE and set View->Encoding->Unicode
(UTF-8). Are the characters displayed now?

Then you are doing everything correctly. The strange characters you are
seeing in the file are probably the UTF-8 encoding of those chinese
characters, which is perfectly fine. Whoever is viewing the file must do a
corresponding UTF-8 decode.
