XmlDoc to stream

[pdbowling]

Hi, everyone.

I wanted to feed an XmlDocument to a Stream object.
I am using Visual Studio 2005.


This compiled:

Stream newStream = null;
myXml.Save(stream);

but was very upset about newStream being null.
I tried to instantiate a 'new' stream but it didn't seem
to have a constructor as most objects seem to have.

Stream newStream = new Stream();

I'm not in love with this method by any means, so suggestions on getting the text into a stream would be welcome.

Maybe get the xml as a string or something.

Thanks everyone.
Pat

stream is abstract. you need to tell it what type of stream.
file, string, memory, byte, console...
