Well,
According to the compiler, your first snippet won't compile, because
no overload for dd.Load takes a stringWriter as an argument.
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\VBWebLab\XmlLoading.aspx.vb(35): Overload
resolution failed because no accessible 'Load' can be called with
these arguments:
'Public Overridable Sub Load(reader As System.Xml.XmlReader)':
Value of type 'System.IO.StringWriter' cannot be converted to
'System.Xml.XmlReader'.
'Public Overridable Sub Load(txtReader As System.IO.TextReader)':
Value of type 'System.IO.StringWriter' cannot be converted to
'System.IO.TextReader'.
'Public Overridable Sub Load(inStream As System.IO.Stream)': Value
of type 'System.IO.StringWriter' cannot be converted to
'System.IO.Stream'.
'Public Overridable Sub Load(filename As String)': Value of type
'System.IO.StringWriter' cannot be converted to 'String'.
so are you sure your first snippet works? Perhaps you did not supply
a piece of code.
Secondly, you are getting an error because you are loading nothing
into to the document, there is no root element contained in either of
your snippets, both streams are empty.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? A little more context might
let the list give you some better guidance.
