Are there methods for encoding and decoding XML in .NET? I can’t seem to find them and am wondering why they aren’t there and what to use instead?
I need to encode an XML document and pass it through to a string parameter on a web service. It then needs to be decoded at the other end.
If you are referring to encoding/decoding of XML names, there is XmlConvert.EncodeName and DecodeName.
Or are you talking about specifying the encoding/decoding of the whole XML document using XmlDeclaration or XDeclaration? (I thought this took care of encoding for us)
