Examples

The following example creates a string that contains XML. It then parses the string into an XDocument.

Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim str As String = _
    "<?xml version= '1.0'?>" & _
    "<!-- comment at the root level -->" & _
    "<Root>" & _
    "  <Child>Content</Child>" & _
    "</Root>"

Dim doc As XDocument = XDocument.Parse(str)
output.Append(doc)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)


OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()

    StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
    string str =
    @"<?xml version=""1.0""?>
<!-- comment at the root level -->
<Root>
    <Child>Content</Child>
</Root>";
    XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(str);
    output.Append(doc + Environment.NewLine);

    OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
