C#

string a = null;
a = getresponsefromserver(stringrequest);//This function returns the response xml
System.Xml.XmlDocument oXmlDocument = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
oXmlDocument.Load(a); // here is the place where error occurs

the problem here is, I am getting the desired response in a.
but when I try to load it into a xmldocument it show illegal characters found.
I have made sure that response xml is in right format.

Solution 1

Change your line of code from:

C#

oXmlDocument.Load(a);

to:

C#

oXmlDocument.LoadXml(a);

XmlDocument.Load()[^] is used to load XML either from a stream, TextReader, path/URL, or XmlReader.
XmlDocument.LoadXml()[^] is used to load the XML contained within a string variable

Good luck,
OI
