反序列化XML字符串

Question

Hello all I have the following XML string generated from file. I want to deserialize it.

<CustomerName>TEST</CustomerName>
<PONumber></PONumber>
<ProcessedBy>Jerry Cooke</ProcessedBy>
<ProcessDate>03-05-2004 14:00:49</ProcessDate>
<TagNumber></TagNumber>
<SerialNumber>134</SerialNumber>

I am using the following code.

string Data =  upperxmlstring
 XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(Data);
                obj = (T)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
                reader.Close();

I am getting following exception " Illegal characters in path. " This error comes at XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(Data); Please help me in solving it.

Answer 1

new XmlTextReader(string) expects a filename, not the content. To read the content from a string you'll have to instantiate a TextReader for that string. Use StringReader for that.

Better still, don't use XmlTextReader , since it's been deprecated. Use XmlReader.Create instead:

string Data = upperxmlstring;
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(Data));
obj = (T)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
reader.Close();
