Hi Victor

When you use the XMLTextReader then you have an overload using a String
Reader type which is a basic string.

From the MSDN example

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0ax3f4f3.aspx

string xmlData =
   @"<book>
      <title>Oberon's Legacy</title>
      <price>5.95</price>
     </book>";

   // Create the reader.
   XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(xmlData));
   reader.WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.None;

   // Display each element node.
   while (reader.Read()){
      switch (reader.NodeType){
        case XmlNodeType.Element:
          Console.Write("<{0}>", reader.Name);
          break;
        case XmlNodeType.Text:
          Console.Write(reader.Value);
          break;
        case XmlNodeType.EndElement:
          Console.Write("</{0}>", reader.Name);
          break;
     }
   }

   // Close the reader.
   reader.Close();

  XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(yourStringVariable))
should do.
