I have an xml file that contains its element like
<ab:test>Str</ab:test>
When I am trying to access it using the code:
XElement tempElement = doc.Descendants(XName.Get("ab:test")).FirstOrDefault();
It's giving me this error:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: The ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A, cannot be included in a name.
How should I access it?
If you want to use namespaces, LINQ to XML makes that really easy:
XNamespace ab = "http://whatever-the-url-is";
XElement tempElement = doc.Descendants(ab + "test").FirstOrDefault();
Look for an xmlns:ab=... section in your document to find out which namespace URI "ab" refers to.
Try putting your namespace in { ... } like so:
string xfaNamespace = "{http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.6/}";
I was having the same error. I found I was adding code...
var ab = "http://whatever-the-url-is";
... but ab was determined to be a string. This caused the error reported by OP. Instead of using the VAR keyword, I used the actual data type XNamespace...
XNamespace ab = "http://whatever-the-url-is";
... and the problem went away.
There is an overload of the Get method you might want to try that takes into account the namespace. Try this:
XElement tempElement = doc.Descendants(XName.Get("test", "ab")).FirstOrDefault();
Try to get namespace from the document
var ns = doc.Root.Name.Namespace;
Deleting AndroidManifest.xml and AndroidManifest.xml.DISABLED worked for me.

I am getting the following request data:-
<NS2:GETREQUEST
XMLNS:NS2='HTTP://WWW..ORG/SCHEMA/NAXML/V01'
XMLNS:NS4='HTTP://WWW..ORG/SCHEMA/CORE/V01'
XMLNS:NS3='HTTP://WWW.NAXML.ORG/VOCABULARY/2020-10-16'>
<NS2:REQUESTHEADER>
<NS2:VERSION>1.1</NS2:VERSION>
<NS3:NAME>VIP</NS3:NAME>
<NS3:MODELVERSION>3.00</NS3:MODELVERSION>
<NS2:SEQUENCEID>1-101</NS2:SEQUENCEID>
<NS2:LOCATIONID>7895</NS2:LOCATIONID>
</NS2:REQUESTHEADER>
</NS2:GETREQUEST>
Now I store this data in string variable. Now I want find the SequenceID from the generated request but I am not able finding the SequenceID.
I am getting an error that while parsing xml data :-
XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(requesttcpdata);
'NS2' is an undeclared prefix. Line 1, position 2.
Can anyone tell me how do it?
You input string looks like XML, but it isn't. Thus, you cannot parse it with an XML parser.
That having been said, it looks like your input file can be converted into real XML by lowercasing the prefix of the xmlns: attributes. To ensure that you are not accidentally modifying xmlns when it appears in the values themselves, I suggest you use a fairly strict string replacement check:
string input = #"<NS2:GETREQUEST
XMLNS:NS2='HTTP://WWW..ORG/SCHEMA/NAXML/V01'
XMLNS:NS4='HTTP://WWW..ORG/SCHEMA/CORE/V01'
XMLNS:NS3='HTTP://WWW.NAXML.ORG/VOCABULARY/2020-10-16'>
<NS2:REQUESTHEADER>
<NS2:VERSION>1.1</NS2:VERSION>
<NS3:NAME>VIPER</NS3:NAME>
<NS3:MODELVERSION>3.00</NS3:MODELVERSION>
<NS2:SEQUENCEID>1-101</NS2:SEQUENCEID>
<NS2:LOCATIONID>7895</NS2:LOCATIONID>
</NS2:REQUESTHEADER>
</NS2:GETREQUEST>";
const string brokenHeader = #"<NS2:GETREQUEST
XMLNS:NS2='HTTP://WWW..ORG/SCHEMA/NAXML/V01'
XMLNS:NS4='HTTP://WWW..ORG/SCHEMA/CORE/V01'
XMLNS:NS3='HTTP://WWW.NAXML.ORG/VOCABULARY/2020-10-16'>";
const string fixedHeader = #"<NS2:GETREQUEST
xmlns:NS2='HTTP://WWW..ORG/SCHEMA/NAXML/V01'
xmlns:NS4='HTTP://WWW..ORG/SCHEMA/CORE/V01'
xmlns:NS3='HTTP://WWW.NAXML.ORG/VOCABULARY/2020-10-16'>";
if (input.StartsWith(brokenHeader))
{
input = fixedHeader + input.Substring(brokenHeader.Length);
}
var x = XDocument.Parse(input); // works now
I am trying to convert a file to XML format that contains some special characters but it's not getting converted because of that special characters in the data.
I have already this regex code still it's not working for me please help.
The code what I have tried:
string filedata = #"D:\readwrite\test11.txt";
string input = ReadForFile(filedata);
string re1 = #"[^\u0000-\u007F]+";
string re5 = #"\p{Cs}";
data = Regex.Replace(input, re1, "");
data = Regex.Replace(input, re5, "");
XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
try
{
xmlDocument = (XmlDocument)JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(data);
var Xdoc = XDocument.Parse(xmlDocument.OuterXml);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
0x04 is a transmission control character and cannot appear in a text string. XmlDocument is right to reject it if it really does appear in your data. This does suggest that the regex you have doesn't do what you think it does, if I'm right that regex will find the first instance of one or more of those invalid characters at the beginning of a line and replace it, but not all of them. The real question for me is why this non-text 'character' appears in data intended as XML in the first place.
I have other questions. I've never seen JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode before - I had to look up what it does. Why are you using a JSON function against the root of a document which presumably therefore contains no JSON? Why are you then taking that document, converting it back to a string, and then creating an XDocument from it? Why not just create an XDocument to start with?
I want to convert this:
<translation>
1 Sənədlər
</translation>
to
<translation>1 Sənədlər</translation> in XML using C#.
Please help me. Only translation tags.
I tried this:
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(path);
xdoc.Save("path, SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
But it does not remove the new lines between <translation> tags.
what you have should work. you can validate by dumping the XDocument to a string variable to confirm if the SaveOptions is removing the formatting.
for eg: i tried the below and content does not have any formatting including newlines and whitespaces.
XDocument xmlDoc = new XDocument(new XElement("Team", new XElement("Developer", "Sam")));
var content = xmlDoc.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
A new line is determined in the code by "\n" and possibly also "\r". You can simply remove these:
string xmlString = "<translation>\r\n1 Sənədlər\r\n</translation>"; // With the 'new lines'
xmlString = xmlString.Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "");
This will result in:
<translation>
1 Sənədlər
</translation>
Becomming:
<translation>1 Sənədlər</translation>
I hope this helps.
You can strip out newlines manually in an environment-sensitive way by using
var content = xmlString.Replace(Environment.NewLine, string.Empty)
XML defines two types of whitespace: significant and insignificant:
Insignificant whitespace is the whitespace between elements where text content doesn't occur, whereas significant whitespace is the whitespace within elements that contain text content. You might find the graphic in this article useful to show the difference.
What you have in your translation element is significant whitespace; the element contains text so it is assumed to be part of the element contents. Without a schema or DTD that says it can be collapsed, no amount of changing the whitespace handling on read or write is going to remove this. These options only relate to the insignificant whitespace.
What you can do is apply your own processing: using LINQ to XML, you can trim the whitespace of all elements that contain only text using something like this:
var textElements = doc.Descendants()
.Where(element => element.Nodes().All(node => node is XText));
foreach (var element in textElements)
{
element.Value = element.Value.Trim();
}
See this fiddle for a demo.
I try execute such a code sample.
var xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
documentTagName = "testName)"
XmlNode headerElement = xmlDocument.CreateElement(documentTagName);
Of cource I get XmlException:
The ')' character, hexadecimal value 0x... (doesn't matter), cannot be included in a name
Because I have ) symbol in documentTagName. And of cource I'll get the same exception if documentTagName would be like this:
documentTagName = "testName("
or like this:
documentTagName = "testName:"
Because all of these characters ('(' , ')' , ':') are invalid for the xml tag name. But I check many links (and even this) and cannot find the list of all invalid characters for xml tag name. Can anybody help me?
I'm having problems reading the ampersand symbol from an XML file:
XElement xmlElements = XElement.Load(Path_Xml_Data_File);
I get error when I have:
<Name>Patrick & Phill</Name>
Error: Name cannot begin with the ' ' character, hexadecimal value 0x20. Xml.XmlException) A System.Xml.XmlException was thrown: "Name cannot begin with the ' ' character
Or with special Portuguese characters:
<Extra>Direcção Assistida</Extra> (= <Extra>Direcção Assistida</Extra>)
Error: Reference to undeclared entity 'ccedil'
Any idea how to solve this problem?
I'm afraid that you're dealing with malformed XML.
To represent the ampersand, the data that you're loading should use the "&" entity.
The ç (ç) and ã (ã) named entities are not part of the XML standard, they are more commonly found in HTML (although they can be added to XML by the use of a DTD).
You could use HtmlTidy to tidy up the data first, or you could write something to convert the bare ampersands into entities on the incoming files.
For example:
public string CleanUpData(string data)
{
var r = new Regex(#"&\s");
string output = r.Replace(data, "& ");
output = output.Replace("ç", "ç");
output = output.Replace("ã", "ã");
return output;
}
