[dba-VB] XML DOM to string?

I'm messing around w/ XML and it's quite late I suppose since there
really is so much I do not know... what I'm trying to do, I have a
class that I use to create a complex XML, that is:

I can save my xmldom object down to a file, but then I'd have to
re-open it and read it all back into a string, and I wondered since
it's in memory if I can just somehow save it to a string instead...
any clues?
Thanks
