WPF vs. Silverlight - Part 2 - XamlReader

XamlReader has different overloads in WPF and Silverlight. Silverlight takes a string. WPF takes a stream to a string.

UIElement element;
#if SILVERLIGHT
element = XamlReader.Load(xaml);
#else
using (MemoryStream xamlStream =
new MemoryStream(UTF8Encoding.Default.GetBytes(xaml)))
element = XamlReader.Load(xamlStream);
#endif
