XML Entity problem

[David]

Hi,

I am still new to XML and thought I had my solution written, but during the
rollout, we have come up with a problem with actual XML coming in (as
opposed to our test XML).

Some character entities have been transmitted unexpectedly.
' and <

I am loading my XML with XmlDocument, just by
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();

xDoc.Load(IncomingFilePath + e.Name);

e is an incoming Fileinfo. My XML does not have any declaration at the top
for a DTD.

I always thought ' and < were understood, but obviously not.

The first line of my incoming XML is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
then it goes straight into the data.

How do I allow my XML document to load and be worked on?

Ah,

It looks like it was a prob with the incoming XML. The entities were coming
through as uppercase, which caused probs.
