Serializing an object to XML and load into an XMLDocument

[@nospamforactiprosoftware.com Bill Henning]

Hello.... is it possible to serialize an object to XML by using the
XmlSerializer and place the results into an XMLDocument?

I was trying to do something where I create a MemoryStream and write to that
with the serializer and then load the results into an XMLDocument using the
Load method but it throws an exception since the XML that was produced
contains the header <? XML ?> tag in it.

A requirement is that I have to do this in memory (i.e. no saving to files).

Thanks,

System.IO.MemoryStream mem = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
yourSerializer.Serialize(mem, yourObject);
mem.Position = 0;
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(mem);

Or better still, use the XmlNodeWriter I published on
http://www.gotdotnet.com and do the following:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();

yourSerializer.Serialize(new XmlNodeWriter(doc), yourObject)

and avoid the textifying and re-parsing of the XML strings.
