XmlSerialize to XmlDocument

[Guest]

Hi,
I have noticed that the XmlSerializer seems only to serialize to a file of sorts. What I would like to do is take an object, serialize it to an XmlDocument in memory (or some other way to hold the Xml data in memory), and then pass it to another function. Is there anyway to do this without writing to the disk in the middle?

Thank you,
Tim

Well, not 100% sure if this will work
The Serialize/Deserialize methods take a Stream object, correct?

What about creating a MemoryStream object (System.IO.MemoryStream) and
passing that?
