(Sorry about the late answer, I was quite busy these last few months ...)
The XmlNode.TextContent property is actually what you're looking for : it
defines the node's text content without these entities. For example, this
little code :
Dim doc As New XmlDocument
doc.FromString("<xml>Fish & chips</xml>") 'This can be doc.Open(),
doc.Content = "..." or whatever
Print doc.ToString()
Print doc.Root.TextContent
... will output this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xml>Fish & chips</xml>
Fish & chips
Moreover, you have the static couple of methods XmlNode.Serialize() and
XmlNode.Deserialize() that allow you to convert strings back and forth
between the "with entities" and "without entities" representations.
