My web service returns DataTable having string values with special character likes "å", "ä", and "ö"

So Its throwing an error "There is an error in XML document"

I search on net found that I need to work around serialization
But I am not getting exactly

Another solution I found, is replace special character

If you have any help link regarding this highly appreciated

Thanks

Are use using DataTable.WriteXml method? - This should not give you any problems for special characters. Just remember to use the right encoding class: UTF-8

Check your Encoding in XmlWriterSettings for the XmlWriter object.

XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8
