Converting String to XmlDocument in C#

To convert a string into an XmlDocument object in C#, we can follow these simple steps:

• Create an instance of XmlDocument: First, we create a new instance of the XmlDocument class.
• Load XML string: We use the LoadXml() method of the XmlDocument class to load the XML string into the XmlDocument object.
• Access XML content: Once the XML string is loaded, we can access and manipulate the XML content using various properties and methods provided by the XmlDocument class.

C# program:

using System;
using System.Xml;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // XML string
        string xmlString = "<book><title>Principles of Information Systems</title><author>George Reynolds</author></book>";

        // Create XmlDocument instance
        XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

        // Load XML string
        xmlDoc.LoadXml(xmlString);

        // Access XML content
        XmlNodeList titleNodes = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("title");
        foreach (XmlNode titleNode in titleNodes)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Title: " + titleNode.InnerText);
        }
    }
}

In the above program, we have a simple XML string representing a book. We create an XmlDocument instance, load the XML string, and then access the <title> element using the GetElementsByTagName() method.
