How to use C# to write an xml document to MemoryStream, not a file?

[Jackfan]

I'm using XmlTextWriter now, but it seems it can just be used to create a
xml file, how can I do?
Thanks in advance!

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
XmlWriter w = new XmlTextWriter(ms, Encoding.UTF8);
w.WriteStartDocument();
w.WriteElementString("foo", "", "bar");
w.WriteEndDocument();
w.Close();

Just create the XmlTextWriter to use a STREAM instead of a file -
that's all.

MemoryStream stmMemory = new MemoryStream();
XmlTextWriter oXTW = new XmlTextWriter(stmMemory, Encoding.UTF8);

That's all there is!
