Load(tr);

Part II: LINQ to XML
Creating XML
LINQ to XML provides a powerful yet easy approach to manually creating XML elements. You have seen
this method quite a bit throughout this chapter. The section ??????LINQ to XML Programming
Fundamentals??™??™ listed several classes available to you via LINQ to XML in which you can manually create
XML documents.
Here??™s an example that creates a simple XML document consisting of elements and attributes:
XElement xdoc = new XElement("Riders",
new XElement("Rider",
new XElement("Name", "Ricky Carmichael"),
new XElement("NationalNumber", "4"),
new XElement("Mechanic", "Mike Gosselaar"),
new XElement("Nickname", "GOAT")
)
);
And here??™s the output:


Ricky Carmichael
4
Mike Gosselaar
GOAT
