I'm using BCB6, i have an application with a TServerSocket, I am being sent
XML to my socket and I am struggling to turn the text string into a valid
XML document using TXMLDocument.

my code is...

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
void __fastcall TMyService::SocketRead(TObject *Sender,
      TCustomWinSocket *Socket)
{
  AnsiString RxBuffer = Socket->ReceiveText();

  TXMLDocument *XML = new TXMLDocument("");
  XML->Options = XML->Options << doNodeAutoIndent;
  XML->XML->Text = RxBuffer;              \\  <--I'm making my mistake here
but no error occurs

  _di_IXMLNodeList NodeList = XML->ChildNodes;      \\  <--error occurs here
as it is not in the correct XML format
  _di_IXMLNode Node = NodeList->FindNode(L"Status");
  AnsiString ServiceType = Node->GetAttribute(L"service");
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the correct method of attempting to import text into an XMLDocument?
