An Error Occurred While Parsing Entityname Vb Net
have got the following exception from the below code block. An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line1, position 844. I was trying to parse s set of data retrieved from table to a data set. public DataSet BindMasterData(string xml) { DataSet ds = null; try { ds = new DataSet(); TextReader txtReader = new StringReader(xml); XmlReader reader = new XmlTextReader(txtReader); ds.ReadXml(reader); } catch (Exception ex) { return new DataSet(); } return ds; an error occurred while parsing entityname line 1 position 48 } I have figured out the reason for the exception, but I couldn't solve it. In this particular situation, the string(which is retrieved from DB) contains a special character (&). That causes exception. How I can solve it. Any help on this would be great.

My code fails at the last line below... WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url); WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); Stream rss = response.GetResponseStream(); XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument(); xml.Load(rss); ...with the error "An error http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7552416/an-error-occurred-while-parsing-entityname-while-loading-an-xmldocument occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 12, position 53." It is hard to work out what is at thhat position of the XML file as the entire file is all in one line, but it is straight from Facebook and all characters appear to be encoded properly except possibly one character (♥). I don't particularly want to rewrite my RSS parser to use a different method. Any suggestions for how to bypass this error? Is there a way of turning off checking of the file? c# asp.net xml share|improve this question edited Sep 26 '11 at 15:05 John Saunders 138k20175319 asked Sep 26 '11 at 8:22 johna 3,63772547 Is a character set definition required? I've had XML files (not RSS) that didn't work until I added a character set definition to the top of the file. Though if you're receiving this should it not already have one?! Maybe you can post the data. –GeoffM Sep 26 '11 at 8:35 An example RSS feed is facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=155774311113436&format=rss20 –johna Sep 26 '11 at 8:47 Looks like it has an encoding then! No use to you but yes I get an error in the same position. –GeoffM Sep 26 '11

The customer had a variation enabled SharePoint site with multiple sites for different languages. He would export one of the language based site and sends it error occurred to the company that handles the translation. Once the export file (.cmp) was converted and returned, he used to import it back into the variation site for that specific language. This used to work for all languages, but failed error occurred while for one specific site. The import would fail with the following error: (You will see this error if debug & callstack are set to true in the web.config).

Jul 16, 2003 03:16 PM|mittalpa|LINK Hi, I am trying to read an XML file using XmlDocument.LoadXml() function. This xml has data which contains special characters like & (ampersand). But it fails saying "An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 1, position 31." How can I make this xml string valid before passing to LoadXML() function. Please advise. Thanks Pankaj Reply kaevans None 0 Points 230 Posts Microsoft Re: special charcters in XML??? Jul 16, 2003 03:28 PM|kaevans|LINK The document must be well-formed before loading into XmlDocument. Can you post a snippet of the offending XML? The "&" must be escaped as "&", and is only allowable in content (the content of a text node or the value of an attribute, it cannot be used as the name of an element or attribute).
