Which error exactly do you get? If the error is "root element is 
missing" then you can easily fix that by setting Position to 0 after the 
transformation but before you load into the data set e.g.

                     using (transformedXml = new MemoryStream() )
                     {
                         //do the transformation and output into the
memorystream
                         xslTransformer.Transform(xml, null, 
transformedXml);
                         transformedXml.Position = 0;

If there are problems with characters before the XML declaration then 
that can only be a BOM and that should not pose any problems. So try 
setting Position to 0 on the memory stream before you pass it to the 
ReadXml method. If you still have problems then post the exact error 
message.
