Hi All,

I am creating a table using DataGridView that displays columns based on the nodes in an xml file.

The cell values are contained within each node like simple xml.

The issue I am having is that some of the cells value contain '<','>', and other recognized xml symbols.
This is preventing the DataGridView to display the formatted xml file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Under the rules of XML special characters line < have to be handled differently.

Consider this snippet

<place>MyHome</place>

Now if I want to express the text "MyHome > 1" then a different XML syntax is required:

<place><![CDATA[MyHome > 1]]></place>

How you parse it is a design issue. For example in my applications I don't cater for special characters, but if I enter <![CDATA[MyHome > 1> in a text box it will save as valid XML and reload.
Now if I needed that feature more often I could build some parsing in to detect special characters and provide CDATA wrapping / unwrapping.

I have verified the example by applying a schema using Altova and it is both well formed and valid.]
