Hi Amosh,

As per the code given by you, variable x is supposed to contain valid XML which is not there. Once you put a valid XML there, hopefully your code will work.

Valid XML is something like as given at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4601139/how-to-read-a-xml-string-into-xmltextreader-type[^]:

string x = "<TestDataXml><DataName>testing</DataName></TestDataXml>" ;

So correct that line and for more n valid XML please have a look at:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/730133/invalid-characters-in-xml[^]

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/86292/how-to-check-for-valid-xml-in-string-input-before-calling-loadxml[^]

A resolution for similar issue also given here:

Thanks.
