XslCompiledTransform? possible problem with html decoding

[=?Utf-8?B?Um9iZXJ0?=]

Hello all,

I have an XmlException being thrown trying to use XslCompiledTran sform while
using the google api. My suspicion is there is some html decoding happening
that I want to prevent...

something like this

><a href="http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=T&amp;ct =us/2i-0&amp;fd=A&amp; url=http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2008/02/26/senate_advances _bill_to_cut_wa r_funding&amp;c id=1137103998&a mp;ei=Q77ER6-vMY7eqgPA1vGqAQ "><img

being changed into this

here is the code being used...

XmlReaderSettin gs readerSettings = new XmlReaderSettin gs();
//works fine when using this ATOM 1.0//
XmlReader reader =
XmlReader.Creat e("http://www.nfl.com/rss/rsslanding?sear chString=home",
readerSettings) ;
XslCompiledTran sform transform = new XslCompiledTran sform();
transform.Load( @"C:\\myformat. xslt");
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
transform.Trans form(reader, null, writer);
mydataset.ReadX ml(new StringReader(wr iter.ToString() ));

//xmlexception using results from google api//
XmlReader reader =
XmlReader.Creat e("http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed/http%3A%2F%2Fne ws.google.com%2 Fnews", readerSettings) ;

If anyone has run across this, any help would be appreciated.

XmlExceptions are usually thrown by XmlReader when the markup it is
trying to parse is not well-formed XML. I don't think it has anything to
do with XslCompiledTran sform.

Re: XslCompiledTran sform? possible problem with html decoding

That makes since. So how can the decoding of HTML be prevented when using
XmlReader?

Re: XslCompiledTran sform? possible problem with html decoding

The issue was during testing I was logged into Google, but when using the API
programmaticall y you must perform authentication. Otherwise the response is
an HTML page not the expected XML feed data.

I don't understand. I said XmlReader throws an exception when the markup
it is trying to parse is not well-formed. So make sure you use XmlReader
to parse XML and not HTML.
