the subject error occurs when I try to upload a .doc file in Hebrew language to a SharePoint list.

XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
            if (_view.DocumentStream != null)
            {
                document.Load(_view.DocumentStream);

the exception is raised on .Load() metod and DocumentStream si a Stream type. There is a charset problem with the Hebrew character but I don't know how resolv it. Thanks and regards,

Vito
