解析EntityName时发生错误。 第32行，位置51

Question

I've tried looking at several different methods revolving around using XDocument class to load my xml file. However, this error and other variations have been appearing. If I use the absolute path, it displays an error of it cannot find the file. The issue is my xml file has a combination of both English and Japanese used in it. The link should allow for anyone to view the xml file.

Here is my code and xml file:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    private string URLSource = "https://www.dropbox.com/s/nh3bfzvhpj6e3x1/JapanseEnglish.xml?dl=0";

    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        XMLViewer();
    }

    private void XMLViewer()
    {
        try
        {
            XDocument Doc = XDocument.Load(URLSource);
            var Kanji = from WordList in Doc.Descendants("Kanji")
                        select new
                        {
                            Word = WordList.Element("Kanji").Value
                        };

            foreach (var Word in Kanji)
            {
                JpnTxt.ItemsSource = Word.ToString();
            }
        }

        catch (Exception e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
        }
    }
}

}

Answer 1

The URL you use don't contain a XML document but an HTML page : https://www.dropbox.com/s/nh3bfzvhpj6e3x1/JapanseEnglish.xml?dl=0

You need to change the value of dl to 1, so Dropbox will return your XML document: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nh3bfzvhpj6e3x1/JapanseEnglish.xml?dl=1

Answer 2

As @Florian said you should use second link, but maybe you have problem to read unicode xml, so its better using Request and ResponseStream:

private string URLSource = "https://www.dropbox.com/s/nh3bfzvhpj6e3x1/JapanseEnglish.xml?dl=1";

private void XMLViewer()
{
        try
        {
            var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URLSource);
            var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
            using (var stream = response.GetResponseStream())
            {

                using (var sr = new StreamReader(stream, true))
                {
                    XDocument Doc = XDocument.Load(sr);
                    var Kanji = from WordList in Doc.Descendants("Kanji")
                                select new
                                {
                                    Word = WordList.Element("Kanji").Value
                                };

                    foreach (var Word in Kanji)
                    {                            
                        JpnTxt.ItemsSource = Word.ToString();
                    }
                }
            }
     }

     catch (Exception e)
     {               
           MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
     }
}
