I am using the following code to read a XML file & write down its entire contents.

if fso.FileExists(sFname) then
  Set tso = fso.OpenTextFile(sFname, 1, False)
  Application(sVarName) = tso.ReadAll()
  Response.Write Application(sVarName)
end if


But if the file contains "<book><bname>Programming in C</bname></book>,
the sVarName only contains "Programming in C" and doesn't contain the tags.
 What shud I do to get the file contents as is?

If you look at the source, I believe you'll see the tags. The problem is that the browser is ignoring the xml tags because they don't mean anything in HTML.

Response.Write Server.HtmlEncode(Application(sVarName))
