Hello Bill,

Based on your description, your main concern here is looking for a best
means to replace all the CData Sections in your report XML document with
normal text node(with some encoding), correct?

I've tried some xpath or XSLT approach, but seems doesn't quite suit the
scenario here. One means I've got is creating a custom XmlWriter and
override the "WriteCData" method so as to do our own customized output code
logic for CData node in XML Document.  here is a very simple custom writer
class demonstrate this:

===============================
public class ReplaceXMLWriter: XmlTextWriter
   {
       public ReplaceXMLWriter(string filename, Encoding encoding)
           : base(filename, encoding)
       {
       }

       public override void WriteCData(string text)
       {

           
           string oldText = text;

           Console.WriteLine("ReplaceXMLWriter+WriteCData+oldText:{0}",
oldText);

           base.WriteString(HttpUtility.HtmlEncode( text));
       }
   }
==================================

You can simply use your custom writer class as below:

====================
static void Run()
       {
           XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
           doc.Load(@"..\..\data.xml");

           ReplaceXMLWriter rxw = new ReplaceXMLWriter("replaceddata.xml",
Encoding.UTF8);

           doc.Save(rxw);

           rxw.Close();
}
=========================================

Does this helps you?

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
