how to read XML from a variable

[Dica]

i've got an XML file that's been encrypted. before i can read the XML, i
first have to decrypt the XML and add to a string variable like so:
String sXmlDataDecrypted = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(btXmlDataDecrypted);

now that the XML data is decrypted, i want to load and loop through the
nodes, but XmlTextReader requires a path to a physical file. is there a way
to load an XML doc from a variable into a reader?

tks

I believe that a constructor for XmlTextReader also accepts a
TextReader, so you could pass it a StringReader constructed around your
string.
