Question

I have instantiated XmlDocument and than trying to load XML file with non Latin symbols in the file pat. During loading the file I am facing with the

 ArgumentNullException 

with message:

"Value cannot be null. Parameter name: str"

Stack Trace is –

at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.HasIllegalCharacters(String[] str)
at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.AddPathList(FileIOPermissionAccess access, AccessControlActions control, String[] pathListOrig, Boolean checkForDuplicates, Boolean needFullPath, Boolean copyPathList)

at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load(String filename)

There is a part of my code:

var xmlData = new XmlDocument();
if (File.Exists(xmlPath))
{        
    xmlData.Load(xmlPath);
    ...
}

xmlPath contain French letters.

What is wrong?
How I can open xml file with non latin characters?

Answer 1

I have found solution of the problem with using other class for data loading, like this:

var d = File.ReadAllText(xmlPath);
xmlData.LoadXml(d);

But question – “what is wrong?” still open.
