Main Question - Posted From Guest:
I have an XML string in a webservice that that looks like the following: >Test Data Returned��< .... etc... What the heck is the the � value I see there? The webservice is crashing and I think its because of hte � garbage data.

Guest Says:
It didn't print, but the characters where & # x 0 all together, I separated them so they print here

Joe Says:
The & # x 0 character string causes your xml to crash because its basically a null value. Null values in the xml will cause it to crash (I assume you are using XmlDocument). The solution is to have the sender of the data to remove the null byte, most likely its a sending error on their side.
