Convert String in file

[Ursula]

Is it possible to convert a string in a file. The problem is this:
I have an object string that is a file xml and I want to pass to Deserialize
function, but Deserialize function expect an object of FileStream type and
the mode access.
There is a function Convert.ChangeType(object value, Type conversionType),
but I cant write for example:
Convert.ChangeType(mystring, FileStream);
CAN YOU HELP ME????? thanks

Hi,

Are you sure that you need a FileStream instnace and not a Stream one?

If you can use a Stream instance what you can do is decorate the string as a
MemoryStream and pass it to the Deserialize method

You do not convert it, you just initialize a new MemoryStream with the
content of the string

Take a look at the constructor.

From memory I think this is the way to go:

new MemoryStream( Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes( your_string) );
