Hello,

I am working with xml and c# and I ge this error: The data at the root level is invalid, when I try to read the xml document. Here is the code that I am working with:

(Toggle Plain Text)

public static Response Message(string doc)
{
         StringReader reader = new StringReader(doc);
         XmlTextReader textReader = new XmlTextReader(reader);
         XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
         xmlDoc.Load(textReader);  //gets stuck here
         return Response.Message(xmlDoc);
}

Any ideas on what this problem could be would be great.
Thanks in advance

I've never used this but ...

xmlDoc.Load is probably supposed to point to the path of an XML file. Right now your just loading a XmlTextReader into an XmlDoc which if you think about it doesn't make much sense. :p

An XmlTextReader is valid input for XmlDocument.Load. Could you post the Xml file?

My bad lol Like I said I've never used that.

the xml file looks like this

(Toggle Plain Text)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<LoggedIn></LoggedIn>

and doc is string of the location of the xml file.
