There s a much simpler way to convert your XmlDocument to a string  use the OuterXml property  The OuterXml property returns a string version of the xml   public string GetXMLAsString XmlDocument myxml        return myxml OuterXml

As Chris suggests  you can do it like this   public string GetXMLAsString XmlDocument myxml        return myxml OuterXml      Or like this   public string GetXMLAsString XmlDocument myxml                 StringWriter sw   new StringWriter            XmlTextWriter tx   new XmlTextWriter sw           myxml WriteTo tx            string str   sw ToString               return str          and if you really want to create a new XmlDocument then do this  XmlDocument newxmlDoc  myxml
