An Error Occurred While Parsing Entityname Line 1 Position 48
up vote 5 down vote favorite 3 I have a function where I am passing a string as params called filterXML which contains '&' in one of the properties. I know that XML will not recognize it and it will throw me an err. Here is my code: public XmlDocument TestXMLDoc(string filterXml) { XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); XmlNode root = doc.CreateElement("ResponseItems"); // put that root into our an error occurred while parsing entityname nuget document (which is an empty placeholder now) doc.AppendChild(root); try { XmlDocument docFilter = new XmlDocument(); docFilter.PreserveWhitespace = true; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(filterXml) == false) docFilter.LoadXml(filterXml); //ERROR THROWN HERE!!!

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 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 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7552416/an-error-occurred-while-parsing-entityname-while-loading-an-xmldocument 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 138k20175320 asked Sep 26 '11 at 8:22 johna 3,64772547 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 at 9:01 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted Look at the downloaded stream. It doesn't contain the RSS feed, but a HTML page with message about incompatible browser. That's because when downloading the URL like this, the user agent header is not set. If you do that, your code should work: var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url); request.UserAgent = "MyApplication"; var xml = new XmlDocument(

Line1, position 844. Rate this: Please Sign up or sign in to vote. See more: C# XML Hi All, I 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; } 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.
