I want to append some nodes to an xml document using Linq2XML. The file in question is being used by other processes and they should be able to read the file while I update it.

Hi there I'm using VB 2008 and I'm trying to add a xmlns="mynamespace" attribute to an XDocument's root element. The XML document is created by a 3rd party, and I have loaded it into a VB XDocument object. As it comes, it has no namespaces. I have been working on a local copy and I added in a namespace in a text editor, so that I can u...

When I use Descendants("element_name"), I only get elements that are direct children of the current level.

I was not seeing the data displayed in the grid, so when I ran through the debugger, I notice that XDocument.Descendants() was not returning any elements even when I was passing in a valid element name. Here is the XML that is passed back from the service: <...
I'm loading a XML file into a XDocument, doing stuff to it, and calling Save(fileName) to rewrite the XML file. The original file has no XML declaration, is there anyway to avoid XDocument adding a XML declaration? ...
I'm working on a little something and I am trying to figure out whether I can load an XDocument from a string. XDocument.Load() seems to take the string passed to it as a path to a physical XML file. I want to try and bypass the step of first having to create the physical XML file and jump straight to populating the XDocument. Any idea...

I'm running into real difficulties validating xml with xsd. I should prefix all of this and state up front, I'm new to xsd and validation, so I'm not sure if it's a code issue or an xml issue. I've been to xml api hell and back with the bajillion different options and think that I've found what would be the ideal strategy for validating ...
