Getting System.Xml.XmlException: Name cannot begin with the ' ' character, hexadecimal value 0x20. Line 42, position 36
<p>I'm getting this error and all i've found so far is "remove the space", but there is no space. It is a script i found that will take a resume from any file format and extract the data (parse it) in order to put it into a SQL database...haven't gotten that far yet</p>

<p>ASP.net Code:</p>
