Hi, I'll definately need some help on this one.

I'm using VS.NET(C++). When using the following code to load xml from a file,
 an exception was thrown and complaining about an invalid character.

MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pXMLDom;
HRESULT hr;

CoInitialize(NULL);
hr= pXMLDom.CreateInstance(__uuidof(DOMDocument30));
	
if (FAILED(hr)) 
{
	printf("Failed to instantiate an XML DOM.\n");
	return -1;
}

pXMLDom->async = VARIANT_FALSE; // default - true,

if(pXMLDom->load("problem.xml")!=VARIANT_TRUE)
{
	printf("Failed to load problem.xml:\n%s\n",
		(LPCSTR)pXMLDom->parseError->Getreason());
	return -1;
} 

My xml file has this set: encoding="UTF-8", and I'm using MSXML3.dll.

My puzzle is I can open the same xml file with IE without any error. Why is 
this inconsistency? 

My second problem is, if I load the same xml content from memory directly 
into DOM, an exception (0xE0000001) will be thrown and won't propergate to 
my C++ try and catch. How can I set it so that I can catch this type of 
error using try and catch?
