Question

Trying to load some XML into a document:

<Custom AttributeA='' AttributeB='Bob' AttributeC='HUNTERS' COMPANY EMPLOYEES' 403B PLAN' />

Then when I try to add it to a document:

XmlDocument xmlCustom = new XmlDocument();
xmlCustom.LoadXml(customNode);

I end up getting an error message System.Xml.XmlException: ‘COMPANY’ is an unexpected token. The expected token is ‘=’.
The value of AttributeC is supposed to be: HUNTERS’ COMPANY EMPLOYEES’ 403B PLAN

I tried replacing the ‘ previously before loading the XML but it replaces ALL of the apostrophe’s and AttributeA='' is equally invalid.

EDIT: Yes, I would agree on poorly formed but it is what I have to work with.

Answer 1

You can use

<Custom AttributeC="HUNTERS&apos; COMPANY EMPLOYEES'&apos; 403B PLAN"/>

or

<Custom AttributeC="HUNTERS' COMPANY EMPLOYEES' 403B PLAN"/>

or even

<Custom AttributeC='HUNTERS&apos; COMPANY EMPLOYEES&apos; 403B PLAN'/>
