I have string object. I need to pass this data to another object of type XYZ. But this object of type XYZ is taking only System.IO.Stream. So how to convert the string data into a stream so that object of XYZ type can use this string data?

You'll have to pick a text encoding to use to translate the string into a byte array, then use a MemoryStream to call your function. For example:
using(System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream( System.Text.Encoding.UTF16.GetBytes(yourString))) { XYZ(ms); } You can alter UTF16 to be whatever encoding you'd like to use to pass the string.

add missing right parenthesis in row 2. I could not edit, because edits need to change more than 6 characters...
Assuming you want the string's stream encoded in UTF8:
System.IO.MemoryStream mStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes( "the string")); Depending on what you really want to do, you might be better served using the StringReader class. It's not an IO.Stream, but it makes for easy text-oriented reading of a string.

This code loads formatted text (rtf) into RichTextBox
TextRange tr = new TextRange(RichTextBox1.Document.ContentStart,RichTextBox1.Document.ContentEnd); string s = myStringData; //myStringData is a string in some format - rtf, xml, etc.. MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(s); tr.Load(ms, DataFormats.Rtf);
