Serializing object to XmlDocument (or string)

[Tom]

I am on .NET 2.0 and am trying to serialize an object to an XmlDocument
(or a string which I can then create an XmlDocument from).

What I have so far is (User is my class);

XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(typeof(User));
MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();

How can I get this to a string or an XmlDocument?

The serialization works fine as if I serialize to a text file (using
StreamWriter), everything looks fine.

I've try converting to bytes, reading on XmlWriter, but nothing seems
to work.

Thanks,

Ok, I figured it out about 5 mins after posting so I thought I would
post my results.

The problem was that after writing to the stream, the stream pointer
was at the end of the stream so when XmlDocument.Load() tried loading
it, it returned "Root Element Missing".

I just moved the pointer back like this:

memStream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);

Once I did this, XmlDocument.Load() worked fine.
