Strange!! Unexpected end of file while parsing Name has occurred

Question

Hi Group, I am facing a strange problem here: I am trying to read xml response from a servlet using XmlTextWriter. I am able to read the read half of the xml and suddenly an exception: “Unexpected end of file while parsing Name has occurred” is being thrown. Following is the part o xml I am trying to read: 1 001 DEL_One Bridgestone HAR001 123.12 EURO 2 002 DEL_Two Firestone HAR002 453.12 EURO 3 003 FIRESTONE HAR001 24.12 EURO When I am trying to read the FIRESTONE (In Third item in the list), I am getting the “Unexpected end of file while parsing Name has occurred” exception. I am able to read the values from element for first two elements. Following is the code I am using for reading the xml. case "BRAND": if (!xmlTextReader.IsEmptyElement) productInfo.Brand = xmlTextReader.ReadElementContentAsString(); break; I also have searched net for this problem but I found nothing useful? Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or missing on something. Thanks, Anup Daware

Hi Group, The problem is solved :) Following lines were creating the problem: StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter(responseStream); streamWriter.Write(responseXml); //responseXml is a string The the default buffer of StreamWriter is 4kb and the string responseXml is more than that, thus only a portion of my xml was being used by XmlTextWriter which is using responseStream: And that was the reason of Unexpected end of file while parsing Name has occurred exception. Solution: Rather than using the the StreamWriter, I directly used the responseStream.Write; for this I converted the string to byte array. Following is the code for it. String responseXml = GetResponseStream(uri, searchRequestXML); System.Text.UTF8Encoding ob = new UTF8Encoding(); byte[] arr2 = ob.GetBytes(responseXml); responseStream.Write(arr2,0,arr2.Length); responseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); XmlTextReader xmlTextReader = new XmlTextReader(responseStream) Well the conclusion is StreamWriter has a default size of 4KB which is not increased dynamically, and this is really unexpected.
