Hi friends,

I have XML with CDATA.
When i get the data from Linq to XML then it will give me error ''.', hexadecimal value 0xFFFF, is an invalid character'.
My code is as below:

C#

string serializedObject = PhysicalResult.XmlSerialize();
                XElement xmlData = XElement.Parse(serializedObject);
                var result = (from child in xmlData.Elements("SMS")
                                         select child).ToList();

So please help me how to read CDATA using Linq to XML..

Thanks,
Viprat

Solution 2

C#

XDocument message = new XDocument(XDocument.Parse(xmlString));

1.  XCData cdata = message.DescendantNodes().OfType<XCData>().Where(m => m.Parent.Name == "iDa").ToList()[0];
string cDataContent = cdata.Value;
2.  string cDataContent =message.Root.Descendants("iDa").First().Value;

 Where iDa => Holds the CDATA value

Solution 1

C#

 XElement XTemp = XElement.Load(YourXMLfile);  
var queryCDATAXML = from element in XTemp.DescendantNodes()
                         where element.NodeType == System.Xml.XmlNodeType.CDATA
                         select element.Parent.Value.Trim();

Thanks for the reply. But using this query it will read only those records whose nodetype is CDATA. I need all the records. With CDATA as well as With out CDATA.

You may create code snippet similar to below one.

C#

var cdataElement = xmlobj.DescendantNodes().OfType<XCData>().FirstOrDefault();
if (cdataElement != null)
    cdataContent= cdataElement.Value;
