Escape special characters in XML
Special characters include &, <, space etc. You need to encode and decode these characters accordingly to the XML representation.
This is where XMLConvert class comes handy. XMLConvert class has the EncodeName and the DecodeName methods for this very purpose. They convert these special characters into appropriate
for e.g. If you need to create an element with value "My Post", the following
line would throw error when the xml is viewed.
xmlTextWriter.WriteElementString("My Post", "600");
So, if we rewrite it like this, then the errors would disappear.
xmlTextWriter.WriteElementString(XmlConvert.EncodeName("My Post"), "600");
