Parsing .plist Files to plain XML C#

Question

Hello, I'm trying to read my Apple Safari history with c#, which is stored in a plist file, however I always get an error and I'm not sure what the correct way is to do it. The code I tried to execute is this:

XmlDocument xmd = new XmlDocument(); xmd.LoadXml(@"C:\Users\Oran\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Safari\History.plist");

and I always get the following error: "Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."

Does anyone know whats wrong with this code and recommend what is the best way to read plist files?

Hi,

try this and everyhing should be fine ;-)

xmd.Load(...)

The one you have used loads the xml data from a string not from a file.
