    <p>There is a public webservice which I want to use in a short C# Application: <a href="http://ws.parlament.ch/">http://ws.parlament.ch/</a></p> <p>The returned XML from this webservice has a "BOM" at the beginning, which causes RESTSharp to fail the deserializing of the XML with the following error message:</p> <blockquote> <p>Error retrieving response. Check inner details for more info. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: <strong>Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.</strong> at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e)<br> at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(String res, String arg) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseRootLevelWhitespace() at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseDocumentContent() at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Read() at System.Xml.Linq.XDocument.Load(XmlReader reader, LoadOptions options) at System.Xml.Linq.XDocument.Parse(String text, LoadOptions options)<br> at System.Xml.Linq.XDocument.Parse(String text) at RestSharp.Deserializers.XmlDeserializer.Deserialize[T](IRestResponse response) at RestSharp.RestClient.Deserialize[T](IRestRequest request, IRestResponse raw)<br> --- End of inner exception stack trace ---</p> </blockquote> <p>Here is an easy sample by using <a href="http://ws.parlament.ch/sessions?format=xml">http://ws.parlament.ch/sessions?format=xml</a> to get a List of '<em>Sessions</em>':</p> <pre><code>public class Session { public int Id { get; set; } public DateTime? Updated { get; set; } public int? Code { get; set; } public DateTime? From { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public DateTime? To { get; set; } } static void Main(string[] args) { var request = new RestRequest(); request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Xml; request.Resource = "sessions"; request.AddParameter("format", "xml"); var client = new RestClient("http://ws.parlament.ch/"); var response = client.Execute&lt;List&lt;Session&gt;&gt;(request); if (response.ErrorException != null) { const string message = "Error retrieving response. Check inner details for more info."; var ex = new ApplicationException(message, response.ErrorException); Console.WriteLine(ex); } List&lt;Session&gt; test = response.Data; Console.Read(); } </code></pre> <p>When I first manipulate the returned xml with Fiddler to remove the first 3 bits (the "BOM"), the above code works! May someone please help me to handle this directly in RESTSharp? What am I doing wrong? THANK YOU in advance!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
