KML string to KmlLayer

Question

I've seen that similar questions have been asked, bust most of them are over a year old. Is there a way to add a KmlLayer from a KML string or a local file?

I tried the following, but it only works when file is a url.

string file = @C:\devel	est.kml;
KmlLayer kmlLayer = new KmlLayer(new Uri(file));
MyMapView.Map.Layers.Add(kmlLayer);

For anyone interested, I was able to make it work by adding the KML layer with

MyMap.Layers.Add(kmlLayer);

instead of

MyMapView.Map.Layers.Add(kmlLayer);

string file = @C:\devel	est.kml; 
KmlLayer kmlLayer = new KmlLayer(new Uri(file));
MyMap.Layers.Add(kmlLayer);

I wasn't able to do it with a string, but a file is good enough.
