Deserialize from a string

[Samuel]

Hi

Instead of deserializing (to XML object) from a file I would like to do the
same from a string where the data is already.

Thank you,
Samuel

Samual,

As the file is a text file, then it is a string, so what is the real
problem?

Currently I pass the XML Deserializer the FileStram that is 'connected' to
the file. What I need is a stream connected to the string

Thank you,

The string contains the XML content instead of reading it from the XML file

Would an XMLTextReader do?

Use a StringStream instead of a FileStream. That should work.

I meant StringReader, not StringStream. You can pass an instance of
a StringReader into the Deserialize method of the XmlSerializer.
