problem with xmltextreader and stream with &

[CindyH]

Hi

I have an xml stream that I would like to read with xmltextreader.
Problem is that there are some & inside the xml stream.
Parse is not working on them.
Can someone show me sample code for reading a stream like this?

Thanks,
Cindy

If you mean it has, for example,

<example>You & me</example>

or

<example example=' a && b '></example>

then those are not XML documents, the & must be escaped using &amp; or
some equivalent form. Whoever created the documents must fix them be-
fore you can process them as XML documents.

Well, he claims it's a well formed xml and I doubt he will remove them or
replace them.
The only thing I can think of is using replace function, but was wondering
if there was a better or more standard way.
