write an xml with out using IO operation

[gopal2901]

hi
i want to write an xml with out using IO operation.
i dont want to write the xml in text file and then read from it.

for this i have used memory stream, but when i read the data from memory stream i gives wrong xml. some tags are added itsself in xml

here is the code.

MemoryStream str = new MemoryStream()
XmlTextWriter txtwriter = new XmlTextWriter(str,System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
txtwriter.WriteStartDocument();
txtwriter.WriteStartElement("AssessmentOrderAcknow ledgement");
txtwriter.WriteStartElement("ReceiptId");
txtwriter.WriteAttributeString("idOwner", "The ID of the partner");
txtwriter.WriteStartElement("IdValue");
txtwriter.WriteAttributeString("name", "receiptID");
txtwriter.WriteString("[ASR unique identifier]");
txtwriter.WriteEndElement();
txtwriter.WriteEndElement();
txtwriter.WriteStartElement("AccessPoint");
txtwriter.WriteElementString("InternetWebAddress", data[0]);
txtwriter.WriteEndElement();
txtwriter.WriteStartElement("AssessmentStatus");
txtwriter.WriteElementString("Status", "[Acknowledged]");
txtwriter.WriteElementString("Details", "[Details of the status]");
txtwriter.WriteEndElement();
txtwriter.WriteEndElement();
txtwriter.Flush();
txtwriter.Close();

//Reading the xml
string xmfragment = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(str.GetBuffer( ));

i am geting one more tag ie <string> extra and <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> extra

is there problem in coding?

or how cani achive my objective?

I believe its good practise to post the language that you are using in your posts.

I'm assuming C#. Have you tried looking at the XMLDataDocument class? It allows you to read/write nodes within an XML file quite nicely, and you can read it back easily with a little bit of recursion.

i am sorry that i forgot to write the language. i will keep in mind in future.
i follow your suggestion and it works. Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestion.
i have one more question that Is using string as xml format is good option for dealing with xml . or there i should use some other option???
