.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / April 2008Reading XML File, '<br>' gives 'Element' is not a valid node type
I'm returning a string from an xml file and trying to do something like the following. <Getter> return HtmlEncode(s_tring.Value.Replace("\n","<br>")); </Getter> to replace a new-line character with a html line break. But the "<BR>" is giving me errors as indicated in the title. presumable it is parsing the string and thinking <br> is the start of a new field in the xml file. How can I go about reformatting it to let it through? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - if that effects things at all. xml isnt my expertise :) Not really sure what you're doing, but in xml "<br>" is not valid, try this instead; return HtmlEncode(s_tring.Value.Replace("\n","<br/>")); Note the forward slash after the br but before the closing bracket. > I'm returning a string from an xml file and trying to do something > like the following.

Line 1006, position 18. ' The stack trace is next to useless, just says there is a problem reading the xml. It works spot on if dont have the <br> in there, for example I replace '\n' with '^' and its all good, but that doesnt help me format the string :) On 8 Apr, 16:09, "vMike" <vM...@5noerrawgespam.com> wrote: > "JB" <jamesb...@gmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > vmike I tried "<br/>" and that gives me the same error as before. using <![CDATA[ ....]] gives me 'This is an unexpected token.

I can successfully open the xml file without error with a <br> in it using <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <Getter><![CDATA[return HtmlEncode(s_tring.Value.Replace("\n","<br>"));]]></Getter> Mike Tried using <br/> instead of <br/>?

It works spot on if dont have the <br> in there, for example I replace '\n' with '^' and its all good, but that doesnt help me format the string :) Try : <br /> Notice the space between the "r" and the slash. i.e., <br/> is wrong, but <br /> is OK. Also, make sure the <br /> has a pair closing tag. Yes, I know that allegedly a paired closing tag not needed, but when dealing with .xsd files I found out, the hard way, that .xml files will not display when the <br /> tags aren't paired. Maybe it's the same when parsing. Juan T.
