Error when reading XML

Question

I am currently writing an XML writer/reader. I have it writing to the xml file, now I am attempting to read from it. However, when I do so the following error is thrown and I am not sure why:

'>' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '='. Line 6, position 16. XML reader c#

Please could someone shed some light on this for me?

The XML file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assignments>
  <assignment>
    <ModuleTitle>Internet Programming</ModuleTitle>
    <AssignmentTitle>Assignment 01</AssignmentTitle>
    <Date Given>11/02/2015</Date Given>
    <Date Due>20/02/2015</Date Due>
  </assignment>
</assignments>

UPDATE:

The problem was the fact that in some of my tag names I had spaces, which was causing the error.

Answer 1

You have invalid spaces, the following will work:

XElement config = XElement.Parse (
@"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes'?>
<assignments>
  <assignment>
    <ModuleTitle>Internet Programming</ModuleTitle>
    <AssignmentTitle>Assignment 01</AssignmentTitle>
    <DateGiven>11/02/2015</DateGiven>
    <DateDue>20/02/2015</DateDue>
  </assignment>
</assignments>");

Please note DateGiven and DateDuewithout spaces.

The spaces are the reason for the error as shown below:

Answer 2

<Date Given> is not a valid XML syntax. Given is supposed to be an attribute with a value, so it should look something like this: <Date Given="true">

Edit to be useful in the future: as @James mentioned, it is just a space in the tag name, which is also invalid in XML.
