XML reading issue....=== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>affiliateId</key> <string>AFL9124395098</string> ........................... === Now when I'm reading them with XmlDocument or XmlTextReader the reader try to connect to aple (because of <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">) and that causes exception when there is no network (and of course the XmlTextReader or XmlDocument fail to read the text) The problem is: I don't care about apple schema, I do the reading myself and it's going to be alllright. Is there a way I could skip over it? -- Regards, Lloyd Dupont NovaMind development team NovaMind Software Mind Mapping Software <www.nova-mind.com>

If that doesn't do it, you could define your own XmlResolver derived class which processes the remote DTD in any way you like. John Thanks John!
However that doesn't work, if I disable the DTD, I get an XmlException: "The DTD is deactivate, activate it this way..." So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I don't want to valid the DTD because there is no network and the XML reader doesn't want to read the XML document because the DTD is not validated...

(ie pass it through a filter of some kind, like sed). Or filter it so that the SYSTEM Identifier resolves to a local file, and keep a copy of the DTD at that filename. ///Peter Show quote > "John Saunders" <john.saunders at trizetto.com> wrote in message > news:uPhDCTkyGHA.2392@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >> "Lloyd Dupont" <net.galador@ld> wrote in message >> news:%23qBd%23ijyGHA.3428@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >>> I have some XML file like that: >>> >>> === >>> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> >>> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" >>> "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> >>> <plist version="1.0"> >>> <dict> >>> <key>affiliateId</key> >>> <string>AFL9124395098</string> >>> .......................... >>> === >>> >>> Now when I'm reading them with XmlDocument or XmlTextReader the reader >>> try to connect to aple (because of <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple >>> Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" >>> "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">) >>> and that causes exception when there is no network (and of course the >>> XmlTextReader or XmlDocument fail to read the text) >>> >>> The problem is: I don't care about apple schema, I do the reading myself >>> and it's going to be alllright. >>> Is there a way I could skip over it? >> I believe that if you set the XmlResolver property of the XmlTextReader to >> null, it will ignore the remote DTD.

This leaves you with output that starts like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "/some/directory/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> All you need to do is make sure you have a directory in the relevant place in your tree called /some/directory/DTDs, and in it a copy of the PropertyList-1.0.dtd file (which you get from Apple; plus any ancillary files it references). Now when you edit/process the document, it will validate against the local copy. You can replace /some/directory with whatever is suitable for your system. sed is available for Microsoft systems both with and without Cygwin support, I believe. ///Peter mmh....
