ASP.Net, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and XML

Hi!
I work in a web site project which uses ASP.net and Microsoft SQL
Server 2005. I use XML and XSL for my pages. My problem is:
oAs the data in the database contain some characters that are not
allowed by XML structure, I used CDATA for all my fields in order to
store them in the XML file like that :
vignettes_xml = vignettes_xml + "<transcription_texte><![CDATA[" +
reader1.GetString(47) + "]]></transcription_texte>"
oBut After I realized that with CDATA I can't access to my XML
structures inside the field (knowing that some fields in the database
stored XML data). So I changed my field to normal writing like that:
vignettes_xml = vignettes_xml + "<transcription_texte>" +
reader1.GetString(47) + "]</transcription_texte>"
oThe problem is : with both the first and the second writing I have in
my XML variable transcription_texte an empty data. But in my database
every transcription_texte contains a long XML structure. I did not
understand what the source of the problem is.
Your answers can be very helpful.
Regards,
Djamila.
Hello djamilabouzid@.gmail.com,
Its not all that clear as what is cause a problem here because we don't know
what reade1.GetString(47) is actually returning.

|||Also instead of trying to construct your XML using string concatenations,
why don't you use FOR XML?
