For those who have used the .NET XMLTextReader - they will be well aware that is lets you load the xml file and then read through the nodes and attributes.

I though of loading it into a Stream and passing it to the XMLTextReader and a 100 other crappy solutions till this one looked most elegant and worked!

ds.ReadXml(new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(myStringWithXml)));
[Where ds is the instance of my XMLTextReader]
