XDocument Class
Visual Studio 2008
Represents an XML document.
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)
For details about the valid content of an XDocument, see Valid Content of XElement and XDocument Objects.
The following example creates a document, and then adds a comment and an element to it. It then composes another document using the results of a query.
Dim srcTree As XDocument = _ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <!--This is a comment--> <Root> <Child1>data1</Child1> <Child2>data2</Child2> <Child3>data3</Child3> <Child2>data4</Child2> <Info5>info5</Info5> <Info6>info6</Info6> <Info7>info7</Info7> <Info8>info8</Info8> </Root> Dim doc As XDocument = _ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <!--This is a comment--> <Root> <%= From el In srcTree.<Root>.Elements _ Where CStr(el).StartsWith("data") _ Select el %> </Root> Console.WriteLine(doc)
This example produces the following output:
<!--This is a comment--> <Root> <Child1>data1</Child1> <Child2>data2</Child2> <Child3>data3</Child3> <Child2>data4</Child2> </Root>
