XPath and Serialization

Hi,

I am reading values from an Xml file using XPathDocument /
NodeIterators etc.

My question is, is it possible to retrieve the XML for a node as a
string so that i can use XML Serialization to instantiate an object
from the XML Fragment returned WITHOUT using XmlDocument which loads
the whole file?

If you don't need XPath, you can use plain XmlTextReader for that. With
XPath it's much more complex. Take a look at XPathReader project -
