Convert string to XML using .Net

Question

I store the XML output to String and Again convert this string to XML .I successfully convert XML output to String, but i got problem again converting string to XML.

sample code:

 webservice.Service1 objService1 = new webservice.Service1();
    String s = objService1.HelloWorld();   //Convert XML output into String   
    XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
    xd.LoadXML(s);

I use LoadXML() method, but i got error

Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1 position 1.

Its grateful, if any body give right code to convert String To XML in c#. Thank you,

Please show value of s - there is a good chance that it is not an XML. — Alexei Levenkov

You should use XDocument. XDocument is better than XMLDocument. It is very efficient, simple and easy to use.

Your code :

webservice.Service1 objService1 = new webservice.Service1();
    String s = objService1.HelloWorld();   //Convert XML output into String   
    XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
    xd.LoadXml(s);

Solution:

XDocument xd = XDocument.Parse(s);

It is unclear why using different XML parser somehow will make some text valid XML (if another parser could not recognize it). Also "thank you notes" are not necessary...

      XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
      xd.LoadXml("<root>123</root>");

It works. You should print the s value and check it is a valid xml string.
