FDO fails to parse providers.xml if there is commented child note under .

[ChristineBao]

Reported by Autodesk QA:

Steps:

1. Modify providers.xml to make it contains an XML comment node (i.e. <!-- blahblah-->) under root node <FeatureProviderRegistry>. For example in the attached file, I’ve commented out "Autodesk.DesignService.3.9” provider.
2. Try to get all providers in code like below.

FdoPtr<IProviderRegistry> pR = FdoFeatureAccessManager::GetProviderRegistry();

const FdoProviderCollection *pProviders = pR->GetProviders();

int count = pProviders->GetCount();

          for (int i=0; i<count; i++)
          {
              FdoPtr<FdoProvider> provider = pProviders->GetItem(i);
 
              const wchar_t *providerName = provider->GetName();
              if (NULL != providerName)
              {
                  // check provider name here
              }
}

Expected Behavior:

The returned providers should be as those listed in the XML configuration file Actual Behavior: The comment node is taken as a “provider” node in the result. Meanwhile the “commented provider” has a blank name. i.e. provider->GetName == L"";
