XElement.Load Method (TextReader)

This method reads the raw XML into the XML tree. It discards all insignificant white space in the file.

LINQ to XML's loading functionality is built upon XmlReader. Therefore, you might catch any exceptions that are thrown by the XmlReader.Create overload methods and the XmlReader methods that read and parse the document.

The following example loads an element from a StringReader.

TextReader sr = new StringReader("<Root><Child/></Root>");
XElement xmlTree = XElement.Load(sr);
sr.Close();
Console.WriteLine(xmlTree);

This example produces the following output:

<Root>
  <Child />
</Root>
