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
