Examples

The following example creates a string that contains XML. It then parses the string into an XDocument.

string str =
@"<?xml version=""1.0""?>
<!-- comment at the root level -->
<Root>
    <Child>Content</Child>
</Root>";
XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(str);
Console.WriteLine(doc);

Visual Basic

Dim str As String = _
    "<?xml version= '1.0'?>" & _
    "<!-- comment at the root level -->" & _
    "<Root>" & _
    "  <Child>Content</Child>" & _
    "</Root>"

Dim doc As XDocument = XDocument.Parse(str)
Console.WriteLine(doc)

This example produces the following output:

xmlLang

<!-- comment at the root level -->
<Root>
  <Child>Content</Child>
</Root>
