topic Error when Importign XML to PGDB in ArcObjects SDK Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcobjects-sdk-questions/error-when-importign-xml-to-pgdb/m-p/405633#M10843 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi Dears,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am having a XML file which I want to import to PGDB format using the "Import XML Workspace Document" function in ArcCatalgo. But the importing function is producing the error "Import xml data failed, FDO error: -2147186428 [XML parse error: Illegal xml character.....". The xml file is attached. This file is containing the data for two polygons which some of their attributes are in Arabic text and this what I believe is causing the error. However, when I opened the xml file in Visual Studio and just save it without changing anything, the file could imported in ArcCatalog with no errors. Is there anything which I can add to or modify in my xml file so it can be imported successfully? I am generating this xml from AutoCAD drawing using a custom built extension in AutoCAD.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I highly appreciate any help on this issue.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks a lot</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 18 Jun 2012 02:50:44 GMT Almuatasim_Ahmed_SaidAl-Hinai 2012-06-18T02:50:44Z Error when Importign XML to PGDB https://community.esri.com/t5/arcobjects-sdk-questions/error-when-importign-xml-to-pgdb/m-p/405633#M10843 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi Dears,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am having a XML file which I want to import to PGDB format using the "Import XML Workspace Document" function in ArcCatalgo.
