Solution 1

XML data is just formatted text, and a "blob" is normally just binary data, so the conversion is pretty simple:

string s = ...
byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(s);

And to reverse it:

byte[] bytes = ...
string s = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);

Solution 3

If you are using .NET 4 you can use the .NET zip functionality to compress the XML and store the zipped file as a BLOB, see: ZipFile Class (System.IO.Compression)[^]

There is no conversion to do because xml and blob are essentially the same thing.
Any file can be handled as a blob, just as any string or byte array.
