Question

I am trying to read xml string from DB. However my code is erroring?

Here is my code

string strUrl = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><boolean>false</boolean>";

XmlTextReader xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(strUrl)); 

while (xmlReader.Read())
{
    switch (xmlReader.NodeType)
    {
        case XmlNodeType.Element: 
            break;

        case XmlNodeType.Text: 
            break;
    }
}

Where I’m i going wrong?

Answer 1

Your code as is won’t compile, because you use double quotes inside the string. You could try to use single quotes instead:

string strUrl = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-16'?><boolean>false</boolean>";

Alternatively escape the double quotes:

string strUrl = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-16\"?><boolean>false</boolean>";
