You need to pass the xml as a string.

Thanks. I got it to work. Added the following coded:

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); 
XmlTextWriter xw = new XmlTextWriter(sw); 
doc.WriteTo(xw); 
StringReader transactionXml = new StringReader(sw.ToString()); 
XmlTextReader xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(transactionXml); 
SqlXml sqlXml = new SqlXml(xmlReader); 

Converting it to a string was not enough. I got the following error: XML parsing: line 1, character 38, unable to switch the encoding”. So, I converted to string then coverted it to SqlXml and it worked.
