Exceptions

Exception	Condition
XmlSyntaxException	xml contains one or more single quotation mark characters.
ArgumentNullException	xml is null.

Do not use single quotation marks in the XML string; instead, use escaped double quotation marks. For example, instead of "<value name='Company'>Microsoft</value>" use "<value name=\"Company\">Microsoft</value>".

Using single quotation marks can result in either an exception being thrown or, in some cases, the single quotation marks being treated as text in the string.
