ó not allowed in xml file but allowed in .net resource file?

Question

i'm parsing a few .net resource files (.resx).

In that, i have this piece of data:

información

This works in my .net app, but when i try to load this file in my xml document

XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Parse(s);

i get this error:

Reference to undeclared entity 'oacute'. 

Why is that?

Answer 1

ó is a named HTML entity that is not defined in XML.

XML only defines a subset of the named HTML entities (namely &, ', ", > and < if memory serves).

You can use the numeric entity representation instead:

información

Or, in hexadecimal:

información
