Hi, all,
We have such a problem that MSXML reports XML_E_BADSTARTNAMECHAR error.
We have a fault-reporting system in which users can input remark
information freely. And the information is transferred to another system via
an interface program. In this interface program we use XML to enclose
fault-report information. We use MSXML to parse information from XML-format
data. However, because we permit users input information freely in some data
fields, we found that if users input '&' or some other special characters,
MSXML will report XML_E_BADSTARTNAMECHAR error, implying '&' character (and
some others) is not permitted in an XML field.
So, is there any simple solution existing to avoid this situation,
besides we force users not input '&' character ?
Thanks & Regards
Kevin
