Use ReadXML of XSD works with XMLReader but not with Stream-any id

sXML - has XML string


//This dies on ReadXML - something about invalid character
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(sXML.Length);
System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.Bin aryFormatter
binaryFormatter = new
System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.Bin aryFormatter();
binaryFormatter.Serialize(stream, sXML);
stream.Position = 0;

xs.ReadXml(stream);

//This works just fine
System.Xml.XmlReader rdr = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create(new
System.IO.StringReader(sXML));

xs.ReadXml(rdr);

curious what is different???

Thanks

extra stuff to indicate that it *is* a string.

If you just use Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sXML) (or whatever encoding the
XML is in) then it should be okay.
