String to Stream

Say I have a String of XML text or really any text.

How can I write that to a Stream so I can pass that into a DataSet.Read method?

"I have a String of XML text or really any text."

There I said it are you happy?

Ok, ok I'll give a real answer.

VB Code:

Dim xml As String = "<root><item name=""Ed"" id=""1""/></root>"
        Dim sw As New IO.StreamWriter(New IO.MemoryStream)
        'write to stream
        sw.Write(xml)
        'flush
        sw.Flush()
        'move to start of stream
        sw.BaseStream.Position = 0
        Dim ds As New DataSet
        ds.ReadXml(sw.BaseStream)
        DataGrid1.DataSource = ds
