Convert byte[] array back to xml

[manjulam]

How do i convert a byte array to xml?

First you need to know what encoding your bytes are in -- either ASCII/ANSI (like an ISO-8859-1 encoding) or Unicode (UTF-8 or UTF-16). You would then run it thru the ToString method of either the System.Text.UTF8Encoding or System.Text.ASCIIEncoding class, depending.

Once you have it in a string, you can load it into a XmlDocument via it's LoadXml method.
