I have a string which contains XML. I want to create an XMLdocument from this. I am using Load and LoadXMl methods like this:\[code\] Dim doc As XmlDocument doc.LoadXml(applicationXml)\[/code\]but they are retuning:\[code\]Object reference not set to an instance of an object.\[/code\]My XML looks like this:\[code\]<gate.util.persistence.GateApplication> <urlList class="gate.util.persistence.CollectionPersistence"> <localList>
