Hi All,

Following is xml file contents :

XML

<lang>
<FirstName>Prénom</FirstName>
<LastName>Nom de famille</LastName>
<UserName>L'identification d'email</UserName>
<Password>mot de passe</Password>
<confirmPassword>Confirmez mot de passe</confirmPassword>
</lang>

C#

if (File.Exists(fileName))
            {
                XmlTextReader textRead = new XmlTextReader(fileName);
                XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
                document.Load(textRead);

                XmlNodeList node = document.SelectNodes("lang");
            }

Have you tried adding XML header with encoding attribute?

This is called "prolog". If you meant that, this is a right idea. Please see my answer.

Indeed, this is the invalid XML due to one problem: a character set. Typically, this is what you do to correct it:

Add the following XML prolog before your text:

XML
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
```
Save your file in UTF-8. You can always do it programmatically.

It will work, I tested. You can use any other UTF (but not any of the obsolete pre-Unicode encodings), but UTF-8 is the Web de-facto standard and most appropriate otherwise.
