Hi,

I'm using the XmlTextReader to read a badly formatted XML document from a
URL (it has no <?xml tag) on a remote website (not mine). About halfway
through, I get an Illegal Character exception, which I'm assuming means that
the default encoding type is wrong.

Does anyone know a way to override the encoding type on the XmlTextReader?

Thanks in advance,

Duncan
