Try putting the string "encoding="ISO8859-1" in the header to see if that
helps.

Like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO8859-1"?>

At least then you'll know if it's got something to do with parsing and the
parser thinking that you're using 8 bit.

Ok now I know that it the XML parser that is doing it. If I remove the
line
that is writing <?xml version="1.0"?> to the file, and open the file in VS
IDE then it looks fine.

Why is that?

I have tried the code I posted, with the projects Character Set set to
both
Use Unicode, and Use Multibyte. neigther one works.

I am starting to think that I would have to use come kind of tag to or
something.

I am opening the XML file in IE, trasforming it using XSLT.

Try this. Create a dialog based application, put a button on the dialog,

and

place this code in it's handler. Run the app, and press the button, then
open the resulting txt file in Visual Studio IDE.

CStdioFile File;

File.Open(_T("Text.txt"),CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeWrite);

File.WriteString(_T("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n"));

File.WriteString(_T("<?xml-stylesheet href=\"aypClass.xsl\"
type=\"text/xsl\" ?>\n"));

File.WriteString(_T("<!DOCTYPE standardReport [\n"));

File.WriteString(_T(" <!ENTITY % xhtml-lat1 SYSTEM \"xhtml-lat1.ent\"

\n"));


File.WriteString(_T(" <!ENTITY % xhtml-special SYSTEM

\"xhtml-special.ent\"

\n"));


File.WriteString(_T(" <!ENTITY % xhtml-symbol SYSTEM \"xhtml-symbol.ent\"

\n"));


File.WriteString(_T(" %xhtml-lat1;\n"));

File.WriteString(_T(" %xhtml-special;\n"));

File.WriteString(_T(" %xhtml-symbol;\n"));

File.WriteString(_T("]>\n"));

File.WriteString(_T("<standardReport>\n"));

File.WriteString(_T(" <AYPClass percentOver=\"75\">\n"));

P.S. One thing that is bugging me is that just now I removed all the
lines
in this method execpt for the line that outputs the 0xF7 chars, without

all

the other lines it shows up fine in the file.

OK, I don't know which parser you are using, but with Xerces I had a

problem

with high-bits being set unless I either compiled in Unicode or set the
"embedding=" string to something that was 16 bit like ISO8859-1. Could

be

the parser is replacing the character that it doesn't recognize with a
default character.

Hi Tom,

I misrepresented the problem a little. I am writing this out to an

XML

file. The XML parser complains that the character (G 0xF7) is

invalid.

When I open the file in a text editor like notepad or VS IDE, the
text
doesn't look like it should, but if I open in a hex editor, I can see

that

the chars are both 0xF7.

If I open the file in a text editor again, and copy/paste the

character

out
of Character Map program into the text file and save it. Then

everything

works fine with the XML parser, and when I open it in the Hex editor

the

value of the chars are 0xC3B7.

What I can't understand is what is the difference between what I am
writing
to the file, and what get's pasted when I paste the char from

character

map
program.
