Hi all,

I am getting this error when I am trying to load an
xml file:

C#

Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

This is my code I used:

C#

XmlDocument SAP_SettingsXML = new XmlDocument();
            SAP_SettingsXML.LoadXml(SAP_Manager.PublicVariables.clsPublicVariables.SettingsPath);

            XmlNode node = SAP_SettingsXML.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "OutboundPath", null);
            node.InnerText = txt_DirectoryPath.Text;

            //add to elements collection
            SAP_SettingsXML.DocumentElement.AppendChild(node);

            SAP_SettingsXML.Save(SAP_Manager.PublicVariables.clsPublicVariables.SettingsPath);

Here is my xml File content:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SAP_Manager_Settings>
<Inbound_Path xmlns=" ">C:\Users\Ben\Desktop</Inbound_Path><
/SAP_Manager_Settings>

Please any help would be appriciated!!

Your XML is not well-formed, but perhaps you just poorly formatted it in HTML while formulating the question. The error is in last two lines: there must not be a new line delimiter between them, as you break '<' and '/'.

When I replied, there was no XML SA, OP just posted the error with code used.

Sure, not a problem. After all, I voted 5; if you answered that way not seeing XML, it only adds the value to your answer.
Thank you, Sandeep.

Solution 1

Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
See if your XML file is properly formed. Make sure there is no space or new line at the top before the root tag.

My 5. However, there is an error (now well-formed XML) in the shown code -- please see my answer.
