Hi Toco,
Thanks for the reply. But I don't use any xml string at all in my web
service. It simply web services with WSE enabled to pass DIME attachments. If
I try to restore the file name from the following code
Dim oFile As Microsoft.Web.Services2.Dime.DimeAttachment
= CType(oAttach, Microsoft.Web.Services2.Dime.DimeAttachment)
the caller passes the name of the file as 1st parameter from the
dimeattachment constructor. It is a default data type string and I wonder it
cannot accept latin character since string accepts all utf-8 characters.
Is there anything still in web.config to be configured or is it a bug?
TIA,
Holy

SYMPTOMS
When parsing XML that contains "special characters" using the Microsoft XML
parser (MSXML), the parser may report the following error message at the line
and position of the first special character:
An Invalid character was found in text content.
CAUSE
The XML document is not marked with the proper character encoding scheme.
RESOLUTION
Specify the proper encoding scheme in the XML processing instruction.
- or -
Re-encode the XML data as proper UTF-8.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
"Special character" refers to any character outside the standard ASCII
character set range of 0x00 - 0x7F, such as Latin characters with accents,
umlauts, or other diacritics. The default encoding scheme for XML documents
is UTF-8, which encodes ASCII characters with a value of 0x80 or higher
differently than other standard encoding schemes.
Most often, you see this problem if you are working with data that uses the
simple "iso-8859-1" encoding scheme. In this case, the quickest solution is
usually the first listed prior in the RESOLUTION section. For example, use
the following XML declaration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<rootelement>
...XML data...
</rootelement>
Alternatively, you can encode each of those characters using the numeric
entity reference. For example, you can take the special character á, use
<test>á</test> (decimal version) or <test> á</test> (hex version).

Hi there,
I am having a problem im my webservices method when trying to save a file
with latin characters to disk passed through WSE.
I have noticed that when trying to read the file name from all the latin
characters are converted ? character which is a illegal character for file
name.
If my file name is N° documento per Romà
Dim oFile As Microsoft.Web.Services2.Dime.DimeAttachment
= CType(oAttach, Microsoft.Web.Services2.Dime.DimeAttachment)
tmpFileName = oFile.Id
tmpFileName contains the string with N? documento per Rom? which becomes the
illegal file name and the code cannot save to disk.
I have tried in web.config,
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8"
fileEncoding="utf-8"/>
but don't work. Can someone shed some light on this?
TIA,
Holy
