I am trying to load a very basic XML document but everytime I get to the LoadXml(string url) line, the program crashes and reports an exception ("Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1" XmlException).
XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
xmldoc.LoadXml(@"C:\Websites\TestHarness\TestHarness\TestHarness\ExampleXml.xml");
XmlNode node = xmldoc.DocumentElement;
My XML looks like this (this is a sample xml document from W3Schools and it opens in IE fine):
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
This is pasted exactly as is with no whitespace.
I can't see anything wrong with this code, the stack trace doesn't tell me much and I suspect there is an environmental issue somewhere. Does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: The formatting of the XML isn't right. The XML is the same as the sample document on here: http://w3schools.com/xml/default.asp
