    problem with xmltextreader and stream with &

    Hi

    I have an xml stream that I would like to read with xmltextreader.
    Problem is that there are some & inside the xml stream.
    Parse is not working on them.
    Can someone show me sample code for reading a stream like this?

    Thanks,
    Cindy

      If you mean it has, for example,

      <example>You & me</example>

      or

      <example example=' a && b '></example>

      then those are not XML documents, the & must be escaped using &amp; or
      some equivalent form. Whoever created the documents must fix them be-
      fore you can process them as XML documents.

          Well, he claims it's a well formed xml and I doubt he will remove them or
          replace them.
          The only thing I can think of is using replace function, but was wondering
          if there was a better or more standard way.
