XslCompiledTransform? possible problem with html decoding

[=?Utf-8?B?Um9iZXJ0?=]

Hello all,

I have an XmlException being thrown trying to use XslCompiledTransform while
using the google api. My suspicion is there is some html decoding happening
that I want to prevent...

something like this

><a href="http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=T&amp;ct=us/2i-0&amp;fd=A&amp;url=http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2008/02/26/senate_advances_bill_to_cut_war_funding&amp;cid=11 37103998&amp;ei=Q77ER6-vMY7eqgPA1vGqAQ"><img

here is the code being used...

XmlReaderSettings readerSettings = new XmlReaderSettings();
//works fine when using this ATOM 1.0//
XmlReader reader =
XmlReader.Create("http://www.nfl.com/rss/rsslanding?searchString=home",
readerSettings);
XslCompiledTransform transform = new XslCompiledTransform();
transform.Load(@"C:\\myformat.xslt");
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
transform.Transform(reader, null, writer);
mydataset.ReadXml(new StringReader(writer.ToString()));

//xmlexception using results from google api//
XmlReader reader =
XmlReader.Create("http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed/http%3A%2F%2Fnews.google.com%2Fnews", readerSettings);

If anyone has run across this, any help would be appreciated.

XmlExceptions are usually thrown by XmlReader when the markup it is
trying to parse is not well-formed XML. I don't think it has anything to
do with XslCompiledTransform.

That makes since. So how can the decoding of HTML be prevented when using
XmlReader?

The issue was during testing I was logged into Google, but when using the API
programmatically you must perform authentication. Otherwise the response is
an HTML page not the expected XML feed data.

I don't understand. I said XmlReader throws an exception when the markup
it is trying to parse is not well-formed. So make sure you use XmlReader
to parse XML and not HTML.
