Answer 1

May be you need this:

        XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
        StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
        XmlTextWriter textWriter = new XmlTextWriter(stringWriter);
        xmlDoc.WriteTo(textWriter);
        string xmlText = stringWriter.ToString();

Try this code:

XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
xml.Load("file1.xml");
string xmlString = xml.OuterXml;

and you can pass the xmlString.
