How to escape quotes in XMLTextNode?

General
1

What would be the best practice to escape ’ and " when creating XMLTextNode? Other predefined entities (<, > and &) are escaped automatically. Doing this:

Dim t As String = "O'Malley" xml.CreateTextNode( t.ReplaceAll( "'", "&apos;") )

only results to O&amp;apos;Malley

You should not need to escape it.
That is done automatically by xml library.

I agree that it should go like this. But this code snippet:

[code]Dim x As New XmlDocument

x.AppendChild( x.CreateTextNode( “<>&’”"" ) )

Dim s As String = x.ToString
[/code]
I wonder what I’m doing wrong when s gets set to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><>&amp;'"

Quotes don’t usually need to be escaped in nodes. There are some instances in which they do, but in your example above, the quotes are safe to be used un-escaped. Reference

Are you seeing some kind of issue with reading the XML after it has been generated by the Xojo?

The other end receiving the XML I’m creating requires to escape the quotes.
