Is String a valid XML Name?

Is there a way to check a string to see if it is a valid XML Name according
to the definition in the XML specifiction
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#dt-name). I wrote code to do this by hand but
then I thought it must be available in the .net framework XML classes
somewhere. Is it?

Take a look at XmlConvert.VerifyName(string) method.
