    How to fix the invalid characters in the xml text using Visual Basic?

    Hi Gurus,

    I was reading from a xml doc using Visual basic. I was doing it fine until i got this error message in my browser, when i was trying to open that xml file, i got the following error- An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/EAL-00056-082.xml'. Line 1, Position...



    I tried to look into what was the issue.

    and found that the text that was inside a xml tag, had an apostrophe 's. ie(Land’s Motion) and hence i was not able to see the xml file generated on the browser, once i remove the single quote of the apostrophe i am able to open the document in the browser.



    Is there a way how i can overcome this problem of singlequote in the text content of the xml file??? so that i am able to open the file in a browser.

    Can i replace the single quote with something else, How is it handled whille in VB.

    How to fix the invalid characters in the xml text using Visual Basic?


    Thanking you in Anticipation,



    Sachin.
