write an xml with out using IO operation

[gopal2901]

hi
i want to write an xml with out using IO operation.
i dont want to write the xml in text file and then read from it.

for this i have used memory stream, but when i read the data from memory stream i gives wrong xml. some tags are added itsself in xml

here is the code.

MemoryStream str = new MemoryStream()
XmlTextWriter txtwriter = new XmlTextWriter(s tr,System.Text. Encoding.UTF8);
txtwriter.Write StartDocument() ;
txtwriter.Write StartElement("A ssessmentOrderA cknowledgement" );
txtwriter.Write StartElement("R eceiptId");
txtwriter.Write AttributeString ("idOwner", "The ID of the partner");
txtwriter.Write StartElement("I dValue");
txtwriter.Write AttributeString ("name", "receiptID" );
txtwriter.Write String("[ASR unique identifier]");
txtwriter.Write EndElement();
txtwriter.Write EndElement();
txtwriter.Write StartElement("A ccessPoint");
txtwriter.Write ElementString(" InternetWebAddr ess", data[0]);
txtwriter.Write EndElement();
txtwriter.Write StartElement("A ssessmentStatus ");
txtwriter.Write ElementString(" Status", "[Acknowledged]");
txtwriter.Write ElementString(" Details", "[Details of the status]");
txtwriter.Write EndElement();
txtwriter.Write EndElement();
txtwriter.Flush ();
txtwriter.Close ();

//Reading the xml
string xmfragment = System.Text.Enc oding.UTF8.GetS tring(str.GetBu ffer());

i am geting one more tag ie <string> extra and <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> extra

is there problem in coding?

or how cani achive my objective?

I believe its good practise to post the language that you are using in your posts.

I'm assuming C#. Have you tried looking at the XMLDataDocument class? It allows you to read/write nodes within an XML file quite nicely, and you can read it back easily with a little bit of recursion.

i am sorry that i forgot to write the language. i will keep in mind in future.
i follow your suggestion and it works. Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestion.
i have one more question that Is using string as xml format is good option for dealing with xml . or there i should use some other option???
