It sounds like your XML file is actually invalid - it may be encoded in UTF-16, despite its *claim* to be in UTF-8. — Jon Skeet, Jun 06 '11 at 13:50
You cannot **execute** an XML file.... XML is data - not executable code.... — marc_s, Jun 06 '11 at 13:58
use a hexdump program and see if http://stackoverflow.com/users/22656/jon-skeet is correct — jcomeau_ictx, Jun 06 '11 at 13:59
@marc_s: If your XML encodes processing instructions, you can execute it -- just like any other text-based programming language. — Gabe, Jun 06 '11 at 14:05
@Gabe: OK, but that seems like a rather rare edge-case - not the average typical XML usage.... — marc_s, Jun 06 '11 at 14:11

I would recommend looking here for some samples http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307548 and perhaps here How does one parse XML files?
