    new XAttribute("Att1", 1),
    new XAttribute("Att2", 2),
    new XAttribute("Att3", 3),
    new XElement("Child1", 1),
    new XElement("Child2", 2),
    new XElement("Child3", 3)
);
root.RemoveAttributes();
Console.WriteLine(root);
Visual Basic
Dim root As XElement = _ 
    <Root Attr1="1" Attr2="2" Attr3="3">
        <Child1>1</Child1>
        <Child2>2</Child2>
        <Child3>3</Child3>
     </Root>

root.RemoveAttributes()
Console.WriteLine(root)
