Most likely there is an ampersand (&) character in your XML, which in XML starts an entity. You should HTML escape your text content that you set to the info tip to be sure it's ok. Then put your formatting tags around the escaped text.

So are you saying this is coming from some bad data in the tooltip (infotip) text? I was looking in the XML language definition file but it sounds like I'm looking in the wrong place.

Thanks

Yep... the MarkupLabel control is used in the popups. It might be a member list item description tip since there seems to be a timer involved in your stack trace.
