Converting an XmlDataDocument to a string

[gwaihir]

Does anyone know of a simple way of converting an XmlDataDocument to a string. I have tried looking in the .NET framework documentation, but to no avail.

Thanks

I assume you want the xml written back out? Your in luck if so -- the XmlDataDocument contains an internal dataset. Use something similar to this:

XmlDataDocument xdd = new XmlDataDocument;

/* your code */

// get xml as string...
xdd.DataSet.GetXml()

You can also use .WriteXml() to write to a stream/file...etc.
