Reading the xml file in server without saving it

I am uploading an xml file in asp.net. what i want to do is to read the file and convert it to xmldoc and send it to one webservice without saving the xml file in the server. Is it possible? If yes can anyone help me with the code. The code i wrote so far is as below

HttpPostedFile myFile = filMyFile.PostedFile;
int nFileLen = myFile.ContentLength;
if (nFileLen > 0)
{
byte[] myData = new byte[nFileLen];
myFile.InputStream.Read(myData, 0, nFileLen);
}

Using ASP.NET's FileUpload control <asp:FileUpload>, you can load the uploaded file like this. Shows loading an XmlDocument and an XDocument.

using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(fileUpload.FileBytes))
{
    XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
    document.Load(stream);

    stream.Position = 0; // return to beginning for demo
    XDocument xdocument = XDocument.Load(XmlReader.Create(stream));
}

You can load it up using the input stream of the posted file, like this:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(myFile.InputStream);

This uses the .Load(Stream) overload of XmlDocument.
