Please reply ASAP of what could be the possible reason the error might be coming?

I am handling all XML characters and working in the c# code to generate the diagram.

string sNodeLabel = flowchartObject.nodes[iObjFC].name

                            .Replace("'", "'").Replace(">", ">")

                            .Replace("<", "&lt;").Replace("\"", "&quot;")

                            .Replace("&", " &amp; ");

                        string sNodeIDText = flowchartObject.nodes[iObjFC].id.ToString()

                            .Replace("'", "&apos;").Replace(">", "&gt;")

                            .Replace("<", "&lt;").Replace("\"", "&quot;")

                            .Replace("&", " &amp; ");

Well, the XML you generate is invalid. XML text may not contain standalone '&' characters. (Since '&' signals the start of a character entity, a '&' literal has to be represented by the corresponding character entity '&amp;' as well.)
