ProcessStartInfo StandardOutput and DataSet.ReadXML

I create a 32-bit exe file which reads excel files with
provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; and its output is a xml file.

Then I want to read that output from my "Any CPU" application.

My code is

ProcessStartInfo proc = new ProcessStartInfo();
string cmd = ExcelFile;
proc.WorkingDirectory = Application.StartupPath;
proc.FileName = "Convert";
proc.RedirectStandardInput = false;
proc.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.CreateNoWindow = true;
proc.Arguments = cmd;

Process p = Process.Start(proc);

string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd () ;

p.WaitForExit();

if (p.ExitCode != 0)
{
throw new Exception(string.Format("Run Convertion Failed #{0}", p.ExitCode));
}

DataSet ds = new DataSet();

// Now how I pass the output of process to ReadXml?

ds.ReadXml (p.StandardOutput); ???


I tried XmlReader, StreamReader but no success.

What does that line do?

My question wasn't clear.

I meant how can I pass Process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd () to dataset.ReadXML(Stream)

I found a solution

byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(output); // or whatever enconding

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray);

ds.ReadXml(stream);

Process.StandardOutput is a StreamReader, which is a subclass of TextReader. And DataSet.ReadXml() accepts a TextReader. So

No MemoryStream needed.
