Can I embed binary data in an XML document? If yes, how does this differ from including text?

Hi Alan,
Yeah u could embed a binary data in XML but not directly rather u should do it indirectly.
As i read in an article
To send the binary data as part of XML document, it needs to be encoded using Base64 encoding scheme as there is no XML-encoding that allows raw binary data inside the XML-file, so it has to be encoded in some way..

Dear Allan,
My answer for ur question is YES!
And for that you can use the Microsoft XML Parser DLL (MSXML.DLL or MSXML2.DLL or MSXML3.DLL).

It's not possible to have a parser interpret the binary content inside an XML document. I tried it! It generated an error and failed to process the document.

Have a look at this article.
I haven't looked into it in depth but it might be what you are looking for.
