XElement.Name Property

Setting this property will raise the Changed and the Changing events.

The following example uses this property to determine the name of an element.

XElement el1 = new XElement("Root", "content");
Console.WriteLine(el1.Name);

XNamespace ns = "http://www.adventure-works.com";
XElement el2 = new XElement(ns + "Root", "content");
Console.WriteLine(el2.Name);
Console.WriteLine(el2.Name.Namespace);
Console.WriteLine(el2.Name.LocalName);
el2.Name = ns + "NewName";
Console.WriteLine(el2.Name);

This example produces the following output:

Root
{http://www.adventure-works.com}Root
http://www.adventure-works.com
Root
{http://www.adventure-works.com}NewName
