Therefore, it is quite helpful to have an understanding of generics and
delegates as you get into LINQ and LINQ to XML.
The component that gives LINQ to XML its power is the System.Xml.Linq namespace and its
corresponding classes. Those classes provide the capability to work with XML with ease, leaving behind
the need to work with complex and sometimes cumbersome technologies such as the DOM and XQuery.
The following sections provide an overview of the classes in the System.Xml.Linq namespace, and then
detailed discussions of the XDocument, XElement, and XAttribute classes.
