.NET Forum / .NET Framework / XML / July 2008Cannot Switch to Unicode Error
I made an XML document "by hand" and wrote it to a file. I then tried to read it with an XmlTextReader wrapping a FileStream. I got an XmlException about "cannot switch to Unicode" or something. Changing the from this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> to this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> lets it run - why? > I made an XML document "by hand" and wrote it to a file. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > lets it run - why? Most likely because your actual encoding clashes with the one stated in the version declaration.. If you want to fix it then give a minimal example of how you created your file and how you attempt to read it.

That sounds to me as if the XML document created "by hand" has a BOM indicating UTF-8 while you inserted an XML declaration declaring the encoding as UTF-16. So check how you saved the XML document, your editor might allow you to choose the encoding, if you want UTF-16 then make sure you save with that encoding.
