Question

I am working on a xmpp chat application for windows phone 7.

It receives xmpp packets through the stream. Now I need to parse the xml content which comes through sockets.

For windows phone 7 we do not have SAX like parser which sits on the stream and provides us with packets.

We do not have network stream, TCP client available in windows phone 7.

\because the content comes through the stream in packets I need a stream in which I could write data on the fly.

We have a xmlreader but does not work if I use memory stream .

Do we have a SAX like parser Which could read the xml content from the socket and parse the xml content?

Please help me on how to parse the xml content coming from sockets.

XmlReader should work absolutely fine on a MemoryStream – but remember that when you’ve written to the stream you need to “rewind” it before you start reading from it:

var stream = new MemoryStream();
// Potentially several times...
stream.Write(...);

// Rewind to the start of the stream
stream.Position = 0;

// Now read from the stream

Note that you don’t need to use XmlReader explicitly – calling XDocument.Load(Stream) works fine.
