Fileless Decrypting???

[PaulN]

I'm working on an inherited app that decrypts an XML file ftp'd from a
web site and then fills a dataset with it and then loads it into a
database.

The app as written decrypts the xml into a second plain ASCII xml and
writes the file to disk and then loads that file eventually into the
database.

I really don't want 2 files hanging around. I've been trying to decrypt
to a memory stream object and load that into the dataset, but without
success.

Does anyone know whether something like this can be done? And if so,
HOW?

Thanks.

Well, that really depends on what you are using for encryption.

I'm using the DESCryptoServiceProvider in VB.Net 2003.
