Load an XML from Resources

Question

Hi, I have an embedded XML as Resource. When trying to load it like:

XDocument quoteDocument = XDocument.Load(Properties.Resources.Quotes);

I get an error (UriFormatException).

How to properly load an XML from resources? Thanks

Answer 1

Use the following for XDocument

XDocument quoteDocument = XDocument.Parse(Properties.Resources.Quotes);

While this code works for XmlDocument

XmlDocument quoteDocument = new XmlDocument();
quoteDocument.LoadXml(Properties.Resources.Quotes);

Answer 2

It also works with XDocument.Parse

Thanks
