RE: Q: Using C#.net, how to convert ASCII text into XM

Hi Shenan,

Not that I know of - but for example, if you use the DataSet, there's no
need, since the WriteXml method does it for you. It does it simply because
its output will be well-formed XML. The DataSet can even expose your
relational data as XML, even when you loaded the data as a normal recordset.

In general, getting output as XML in .NET is trivial because the whole
communication in the framework is based on XML.

The following article may help you a bit further regarding the special
characters:

Subject:  Q: Using C#.net, how to convert ASCII text into XML
acceptable text?

 

Hopefully I can get some help with this - sorry if it's not the correct
mailing-list...
 
Let's assume I have one C# statement:
 
 
string myString = "This & That";
 
 
Is there a built in method/function that I can call that will turn the
string contents into something that will work in an XML file? (for instance,
convert "&" to "&amp;"... I know I could do a manual .replace method call,
but I want something intrinsic/better)
 
 
TIA!,
