        <Root>Text content.
<Child1>child1 content</Child1>
            <Child2>child2 content</Child2>
            <Child3>child3 content</Child3>More text content.
<Child4>child4 content</Child4>
            <Child5>child5 content</Child5>
        </Root>

Dim child As XElement = xmlTree.<Child3>(0)
Dim elements As IEnumerable(Of XElement) = child.ElementsAfterSelf("Child4")

For Each el In elements
    output.Append(el.Name)
    output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
