[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

Loads an XElement from a file located in the applications' XAP package.

'Declaration
Public Shared Function Load ( _
	uri As String _
) As XElement

Parameters

uri
Type: System.String
A URI string that references the file to be loaded into a new XElement. This file is located in the application's XAP package.

Return Value

Type: System.Xml.Linq.XElement
An XElement that contains the contents of the specified file.

This method reads the XML into the XML tree. It discards all insignificant white space in the file. If you want to control load options, use the Load overload that takes LoadOptions as a parameter.

LINQ to XML's loading functionality is built upon XmlReader. Therefore, you might catch any exceptions that are thrown by the XmlReader.Create overload methods and the XmlReader methods that read and parse the document.

If you have to modify XmlReaderSettings, following these steps:

  1. Create an XmlReader by calling one of the Create overloads that take XmlReaderSettings as a parameter.

  2. Pass the XmlReader to one of the XElement's Load overloads that takes XmlReader as a parameter.
