Extensions.Remove<T> Method (IEnumerable<T>)

public static void Remove<T>(
	this IEnumerable<T> source
)
where T : XNode

Usage Note

This method uses snapshot semantics—that is, it copies the attributes in the source collection to a List<T> before disconnecting them from their parents. This is required to avoid issues with mixed imperative/declarative code. For more information, see Mixed Declarative Code/Imperative Code Bugs (C#) (LINQ to XML).

The following example retrieves a collection of elements. It then calls this method to remove the elements from their parent element.

XElement root = new XElement("Root",
    new XElement("Data", 1),
    new XElement("Data", 2),
    new XElement("Data", 3),
    new XElement("Data", 4),
    new XElement("Data", 5)
);

IEnumerable<XElement> elList =
    from el in root.Elements()
    where (int)el >= 3
    select el;

elList.Remove();

Console.WriteLine(root);

This example produces the following output:

<Root>
  <Data>1</Data>
  <Data>2</Data>
</Root>
