converting a rss download stream to a string

24
I have an rss download stream I am parsing using the xmltextreader object.
I am finding that lone ampersands and dashes in the content are screwing up the parsing process. If someone knows how to solve that issue then I don't need to do what I'm trying to do which is...

load the stream into a string and do a find/replace there.
i tried this.....
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2.            Dim bteRead() As Byte
  3.             Dim strRead As String
  4.             Dim lngRead As Long
  5.  
  6.             lngRead = rssStream.Length
  7.             ReDim bteRead(lngRead)
  8.             rssStream.Read(bteRead, 0, lngRead)
  9.             strRead = Encoding.Unicode.GetString(bteRead)
but since the stream isn't all in memory the length property isn't known and she blows up.

Thanks in advance for any help
