Hexadecimal value 0x10, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 228.

getting started with Azure.
I installed VS2013, the Azure SDK for VS2013 and web deploy 3.5
following the steps on this post
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-dotnet-deploy-aspnet-mvc-app-membership-oauth-sql-database/
When I try to deploy to a website created in Azure with DB, I get
Error 1
'', hexadecimal value 0x10, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 228.
The details:
Transformed Web.config using C:\Projects\ContactManager\ContactManager\Web.Release.config into obj\Release\TransformWebConfig\transformed\Web.config.
Copying all files to temporary location below for package/publish:
obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\Source.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_compiler.exe -v / -p C:\Projects\ContactManager\ContactManager\obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\Source -u -c C:\Projects\ContactManager\ContactManager\obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\TempBuildDir 
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Web\Deploy\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.MSDeploy.Common.targets(42,5): Error : '', hexadecimal value 0x10, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 228.
I have tried uninstalling VS2013, the SDK and even web deploy and reinstalling them and that didn't help.
One caveat:
when I try to deploy to a website created without DB, I get don't get the error above.
any help appreciated
UPDATE:
Figured it out.
My DB Password had the "%" character. I guess that's not well handled by Visual Studio at the moment.
After removing the "%" character from my DB password, I was able to deploy again.

  • Flat file assembler. Hexadecimal value XYZ, is an invalid character

    Hi,
    I'm trying to send file that contains base64-encoded string. With simple xml FTP sending - all works fine. But with flat file pipeline comes this error:
    A message sent to adapter "FTP" on send port "....FlatFile" with URI "ftp://..../.../%SourceFileName%" is suspended. 
    Error details: There was a failure executing the send pipeline: "...., ....Pipelines, Version=1.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=.."
    Source: "Flat file assembler"
    Send Port: "MyFlatFile" URI: "ftp://.../.../%SourceFileName%" Reason: '', hexadecimal value 0x03, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 100.  
    Pipeline:
    Is it impossible to do such operation on Biztalk?
    Thank you!

    Try to set the appropriate value to the "Target charset" property in the Flat file assembler component. This would solve your issue.

  • Exchange 2013 "Server Error in '/owa' Application" - System.Xml.XmlException: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1

    Out of nowhere...literally this started happening to our standalone Exchange server / Domain Controller
    Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Standard
    Problem Child: Microsoft Exchange Server 2013
    Error: When i try to login to the OWA or ECP i receive the listed errors above.
    OS and Exchange installed on C:\
    Mailbox Databases installed on D:\
    Mailbox Logs on E:\
    Outlook is still working for the end-user, but Outlook Web Access, ECP and all other features required to make this server manageable are failing. I can access the login screen, though at:
    https://<servername>/owa
    or
    https://<servername>/ecp
    I have tried reset of virtual directories. Tried IISRESET /NOFORCE after this, but no success.

    Hi MRXennix,
    Base on my research, the issue is caused by corrupted Killbit.xml file on "ClientAccess\owa\15.0.xxx.x\owa2\ext\killbit".
    I recommend you refer to the following method to solved the issue:
    1. Remove the Killbit.xml file and restart IIS
    2. Install the latest CU builds of the exchange 2013.

    Hello

    the websites works fine locally 
    An thoughts how to fix this problem ?

    Hi,
    Welcome to MSDN forum. But your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    If you got issue when publishing a website to Azure, I suggest that you can consult your issue on
    Azure and ASP.NET forum for better solution and support.

  • XML Source error message hexadecimal invalid character

    Hi all
    I am developing a SSIS package to add data from thousands of XML files to an existing SQL Server table. 
    And I get the error message:
    The XML Source was unable to process the XML data. “”hexadecimal value 0x01 , is an invalid character.
    I know that these XML files are not well-formed (and hence not really an XML file).
    So, How to use the SSIS package to solve this problem without using the other editor?

    Thanks Visakh16

  • Sharepoint 2007 list error - The '}' character, hexadecimal value 0x7D, cannot be included in a name. Line 1, position 440.

    Hi Everyone,
    We have a sharepoint 2007 deployment which in general has been fine since it was built.  
    Version is 12.0.0.6421 (MOSS 2007 SP2 (KB953334 & KB953338))
    on a Windows 2003 R2 SP2 server.
    We created a list a while back to store information for our servers but for some reason it now has an error.
    the symptoms are:
    1) Navigating to the list and choosing any view (a few custom views), we can see the data fine
    2)  Creating new items or modifying existing items brings up:
    An unexpected error has occurred.
    3) Trying to access the list settings brings up:
    An unexpected error has occurred.
    4) Using "view all site content" and clicking on the list brings up:
    The '}' character, hexadecimal value 0x7D, cannot be included in a name. Line 1, position 440.
    I've attempted to search for the error online but the error doesn't bring back anything specific to Sharepoint.
    My gut feeling is either a corruption of the list or a user has entered an invalid character in one of the list entries, but I cannot amend the list in any way.
    Ordinarily I would advise the user to re-create the list and enter the information from scratch, however this list contains alot of information and is crucial to the server teams documentation.
    Does anyone have any ideas on where I should be focusing my search efforts?  I did check the logs and couldn't see any obvious entries for this list.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Carl

  • Can't open my IBA project: error parasing document index: invalid character in attribute value

    Hi guys,
    I am new of iBooks Author and I am not HTML code savvy (expect the very basics). I have to send an iBooks for an University exam and I can't open my file anymore.
    I was working on it since Saturday, I saved many times and I have quit the iBooks Author and rebooted my iMac few moments ago. There were no crashes.
    The project is a iBook with pictures, videos and some Tumult Hype animations. It is 248Mb.
    Now I can't open the file (but I can see it in quick view). The error message is in the subject, but here it is again:
    "Progetto iBooks" couldn't be opened. Error parsing document index: invalid character in attribute value.
    Now, I have to send the project today (here in Italy it is now 7:10 am) and so I am kind of desperate.
    Any suggestion?
    I am already working on making a new ibook, but if someone could give me a workaround to fix it and open it on iBooks I would be extremely grateful.
    Best regards,
    Sebastiano
