Not clear how the two bits join up. IAC isn't all you really need something like this:

'Save
Dim lcXml As String = "<Test>Hello</Test>"
Dim writer As New System.IO.StreamWriter("c:\Save")
writer.Write(Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(lcXml)))
writer.Close()

'Restore
Dim reader As New System.IO.StreamReader("c:\Save")
Dim lcXmlback As String = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(reader.ReadToEnd()))
reader.Close()
