Still one question!

[Jo M]

Hello again!

I wrote a small Windows App that converts
characters to XML.

Code below:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(new

StringWriter(sb)).WriteString(this.txtBoxFrom.Text );

this.txtBoxTo.Text = sb.ToString();

If I give & to txtBoxFrom field it writes & to txtBoxTo field

but when givin " it writes " not " that it should write.

Can anyone point what is still missing?

Cheers!

" is allowed in XML, there is no need to escape it unless you use it
inside of an attribute value where the value is already delimited by
double quotes. Thus if you want to write XML markup that is properly
escaped then write the complete markup with an XmlWriter, it has methods
to write out attributes and will do all escaping necessary. The snippet
you used does not write an attribute value so there no escaping of the
double quote is necessary.
