TableAdapter and sql server generated xml

[simonchristieis]

I have a stored proc that returns xml data (for xml explicit), and I am tring to get to that data using the auto-generated table adapters through the gui (vs2k5).

   private void LoadData()
    {
        // _aadt = data table
        // _aata = table adapters 
        _aadt = _aata.GetInformation(2);


        foreach (Test.InfoRow r in _aadt)
        {

            // load xml from database
            XmlTextReader xml = new XmlTextReader(r._XML_F52E2B61_18A1_11d1_B105_00805F49916B);

         }

The only option that I have to access data is the _XML.... string and that errors with:

Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.


Has anyone done this before, any pointers for me ?

Thanks in advance.
