XmlTextWriter to XmlDocument

[ajc308]

My current code contains a hardcoded filename for the XmlTextWriter to write to, and then an XmlDocument loads that file. I am looking to replace the hardcoded filename with something, anything that will retain the contents that the XmlTextWriter outputs.

My code:

XslCompiledTransform myXslTrans = new XslCompiledTransform();
myXslTrans.Load("sortByExtension.xsl");

XmlTextWriter XmlWrite = new XmlTextWriter("results.xml", null);
myXslTrans.Transform(tvXML, null, XmlWrite);
XmlWrite.Close();

XmlDocument sortedXML = new XmlDocument();
sortedXML.Load("results.xml");
return sortedXML;

What can I replace "results.xm l" with? A Stream? BufferedStream? XmlWriter? I'm not sure what to do with it.

I suggest making XmlWrite a Stream, and use the corresponding functions
transform

load

For anyone that may have this problem in the future, this is how I solved it:

XslCompiledTransform myXslTrans = new XslCompiledTransform();
myXslTrans.Load("sortByExtension.xsl");
StringBuilder XmlStringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
XmlWriter myXmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(XmlStringBuilder);
myXslTrans.Transform(TreeViewXML, null, myXmlWriter);
XmlDocument sortedXML = new XmlDocument();
sortedXML.LoadXml(XmlStringBuilder.ToString());
