From: Joerg Battermann on 20 Jun 2008 10:20 Hello there, I 'have' to serialize xhtml within a xml-node without escaping / wrapping it in CDATA tags, but also need to be able do deserialize it. The structure looks e.g. like this: <Requirement> <IDNumber>1234</IDNumber> <Description><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head></ head><body><p> </p></body></html></Description> </Requirement> However, for the Description node The XMLReader sees another parent node 'html', with the child-nodes head, body and one p node within the later. Is there a way to deserialize everything within the Description Part as one big, raw string and skip the recursion down the x(ht)ml-nodes? Cheers & thanks, -Jörg

Your parser will give errors if the XHTML contains entities that are defined in HTML but not in XML (like é). You can get around this by supplying DTDs or with a custom XmlReader, but it's not pleasant. Even CDATA is not completely trivial, because you must take care to break up any ]]> sequences in the XHTML (CDATA doesn't nest), but it does avoid problems with external references and imported namespaces. > The structure looks e.g. like this: > > <Requirement> > <IDNumber>1234</IDNumber> > <Description><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head></ > head><body><p> </p></body></html></Description> > </Requirement> > > > However, for the Description node The XMLReader sees another parent > node 'html', with the child-nodes head, body and one p node within the > later. > Well, it should. :-) > Is there a way to deserialize everything within the Description Part > as one big, raw string and skip the recursion down the x(ht)ml-nodes? > ..ReadInnerXml() should do it. -- J. http://symbolsprose.blogspot.com |
