XML data is already a string. If it should be a different string, you should specify all the detail. The request makes no sense.

At least, Have you see the example? Because the example returns a string as you wish.

Solution 1

You can read it in to a string:

C#

using System.IO;

/* ... */

String xmlText = File.ReadAllText(@"path\to\your\file.xml");

thanks but i dont want to store it in a file, i want the output directly passed to a string

Probably, but it's hard to say, I don't know what you're using to convert it. If not, storing it in a temporary file shouldn't be an issue.

Exactly, my 5, but in my answer I explicitly explained the request makes no sense, please see.
