Problems with loading xml from XmlTextWriter

[Jesper Stocholm]

I use an XmlTextWriter to generate xml data.

The declaration is:

System.Text.Str ingBuilder sb = new System.Text.Str ingBuilder();
System.IO.Strin gWriter sw = new System.IO.Strin gWriter(sb);
XmlTextWriter w = new XmlTextWriter(s w);

And I write to it using

....
w.WriteElementS tring("foo","ba r");

When the creation is done, I need to load it into DOM to select an
XmlNode or an XmlElement to apply to another method (which I cannot
control).

I thought I could do it with:

XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.Load(sb.To String());
XmlNode node = xDoc.SelectSing leNode("sub-header");
XmlNode axaptaData = SomeManager.Tra nsferDataToAxap ta(node);

But at run-time I get an error saying:

"the path is too long after being fully qualified"

(when the .Load()-method is executed)

How do I get arround this?

.... and also:

The XmlTextWriter inserts the XmlDeclaration as

<?xml version="1.0" Encoding="utf-16" ?>

Is there any wy to make it write it as utf-8? I cannot apply the Encoding
as the constructor of the class, since it will then not accept my
StringWriter as first parameter.

Can you help me out with this one?

Thanks,

:o)

Load() method accepts URL of a document to load. Use LoadXml() method to
load XML from string.

Geeees, how could I miss this?

:o)

An additional question:

The Xml is in the structure:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<sub-header>
<header>
<field1/>
<field2/>
<line>
<fieldx/>
<fieldy/>
</line>
</header>
</sub-header>

I need to extract the entire <sub-header/>-section to an XmlNode and
pass it to another function.

I thought about doing it like this:

xDoc.LoadXml(<m y data>);
XmlNode node = xDoc.SelectSing leNode("sub-header");
SomeMethod(node );

But is there any easier way to do it? Memory-usage for the service I am
writing is essential (to limit), so if there is a more efficient way to
do it, I would prefer this.
