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(xmlFish amp; 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?xmlFish amp; 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. Regards, -- Adrien Prokopowicz Adrien, That's what I thought. But now I found my problem. The special characters are in the attributes of the element, not in the text content. Here's an example: (racenode is an XMLElement) ? racenode.Tostring(true) Race RaceNo=8 RaceTime=2014-06-25T15:55:00 RaceName=C,Gamp;E 0 - 68 HANDICAP Distance=1211 WeatherChanged=N WeatherCond=3 WeatherDesc=Showery TrackChanged=N TrackCond=5 TrackDesc=Heavy ( inner content excised ) /Race I'm looking at a bit of code that is: $title = raceNode.Attributes[RaceName] which ends up with the raw value, viz C,Gamp;E 0 - 68 HANDICAP Is there a way to get an attribute value de-specialed? $title = xmlnode.deserialize(raceNode.Attributes[RaceName]) No?
