I have a legacy application that I inherited that passes a lot of XML around as Strings.

I often need the ability to check if a String will be valid XML. What is the fastest and least expensive way to check if a string is valid XML in .NET?

I'm working in .NET 3.5 and would most likely use this as an extension method (off of string) in this one project within the solution.
