I think this should do it:

public static string EscapeXml(string s)
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement element = doc.CreateElement("temp");
element.InnerText = s;
return element.InnerXml;
}

If you're going to do a lot of escaping, you might want to create the XmlDocument and XmlElement once.

Actually, depending on the escaping you wish to perform, you can use two functions that are available in .NET which will make sure your text is valid within XML.

The first, is to use the HttpUtility.HtmlEncode. Since most of the HTML encoding ("<", ">", "&" and the rest) also needs to be encoded in XML, this function will make sure the text you are entering into an XML Text node will be just fine.

If you need to encode a text that will be used as the name of an element (not its content) you can use XmlConvert.EncodeLocalName which will turn every unsupported character to a special representation that can also contain unicode characters.

Mr. Solo (Pilot)

The Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (THRUSH) launches an attack on the New York headquarters of the United Network Command for Law-Enforcement (UNCLE) in order to kill Alexander Waverly, head of the agency. But the THRUSH agents are caught when they try to enter the headquarters building, and rather than be apprehended, they do themselves in by consuming poison. The assassination attempt was made because Waverly has become aware of the plot by THRUSH murderer Andrew Vulcan to murder a visiting dignitary, Premier Ashumen of Natumba. To stop him, top UNCLE agents Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin are sent to prevent any harm coming to the African leader.
