xml serialization formatting !!!
Experts,
I am trying xml serialization using c# and the final xml i get contains lot of escape and formatting characters, i need a clean xml ,how do i get this ,i tried setting the encoding format with no use. pls reply.
sample xml after serialization given - i want to remove the \, \r,\n. I may say string.replace() after getting the xml , but is therre any way to specify it in the xmlserializer???
<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\r\n<AirA
and finally, how do i replace \ in the string <?xml version=\"1.0\"?> with spaces (<?xml version="1.0"?>). I tried string.replace("\\","") doesnt work, any idea?
Thanks

If u can save the data as a .Xml file then it will be in correct format
To get a well formed XMl U have to make use of the XmlTextWriter class

drichards ... Appreciate ur reply.
Its true that replace function doesnt work with \
but it works with \r\n
and iam able to see them in the watch window not in file.
My problem is iam giving this xml string to a component which is giving error due to the <?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
when i correct it to <?xml version="1.0"?> it works...

<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
there are no \ characters in the string. It is showing you the expanded escape sequence '\"' rather than simply the funal " character as you get with say the C++ debugger. That's why your replace line does not appear to do anything. Same for all the \r\n's. These are CRLF pairs that add whitespace into the XML so it is more readable (element tags start on new lines). I don't think you really need to worry about these. Do you actually see the four characters \r\n in your file output?
