XmlSerializer does not encode special characters like &
I have a class named Config that I would like to serialize to XML using
XmlSerializer. That class has a couple of string properties that may contain
special characters like <, >, &, etc. I am currently using the following
method to serialize the instance (m_Config) of the class:
Private Sub SerializeConfiguration()
Dim userStorage As IsolatedStorageFile =
IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForAssembly
Dim fileStream As IsolatedStorageFileStream = New
IsolatedStorageFileStream("Config.XML", IO.FileMode.Create, userStorage)
Dim serializer As XmlSerializer = New XmlSerializer(GetType(Config))
serializer.Serialize(fileStream, m_Config)
fileStream.Close()
End Sub
The problem with this method is that special characters (e.g. <, >, &) are
not encode (e.g. to <, >, &), so the output is not well-formed XML.
Is there an easy and proper way to make XmlSerializer encode special
characters. I do not want to encode the data inside the instance of my Config
class.
Thanks and kind regards
Sebastian

'<' and '>' are enclosing characters of the tags. Having these in the content might mix up tag hierarchy. Quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xml#Characters_and_escaping | The characters "<" and "&" are key syntax markers and may never appear in content > Is there an easy and proper way to make XmlSerializer encode special > characters. I guess not. I have seen the same behaviour. CU, Christian

Are you posting using the web interface to the newsgroups?
Unfortunately discussing encoding questions that way is difficult as any
entity references you might have used are not showing up.

I don't see that problem.
With e.g.
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Foo foo1 = new Foo() { Bar = "a < b && b < c" };
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Foo));
ser.Serialize(Console.Out, foo1);
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
public class Foo
{
public string Bar { get; set; }
}
the characters '<' and '&' are properly escaped
(as '& l t;' and '& a m p;', only without the spaces I inserted in the
hope the web interface shows what I want).

mahotrashI have found out now.... I need to use XmlTextWriter.
My code now looks like:
Private Sub SerializeConfiguration()
Dim userStorage As IsolatedStorageFile =
IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForAssembly
Dim fileStream As IsolatedStorageFileStream = New
IsolatedStorageFileStream("Config.XML", IO.FileMode.Create, userStorage)
Dim xmlTextWriter as new XmlTextWriter(fileStream, Text.Encoding.Unicode)
Dim serializer As XmlSerializer = New XmlSerializer(GetType(Config))
serializer.Serialize(xmlTextWriter, m_Config)
fileStream.Close()
End Sub

Allow searching of date fields to allow wildcard characters
For fields such as birthdays and expiry dates, customers often want to search the database for a list of contacts with birthdays. It would be great if you would allow wildcards in date field searches so that we could search for all birthdays that occur in a specific month. The year is not always relevant when performing date searches. Birthdays is a common search performed by customers in the financial sector as well as other industries. Currently, we have to add an additional text field to facilitate this type of search. It adds confusion to the users, in some cases double data entry...
