A longwinded question - please bear with me! I want to programatically create an XML document with namespaces and schemas.

I'm a newbie to LINQ in C# and am using it to read in and work with XML files. I'm able to navigate up and down my elements, but what I want for some elements is to return the entire contents as a string.

I've got an XElement deep within a document. Given the XElement (and XDocument?), is there an extension method to get its full (i.e. absolute, e.g. /root/item/element/child) XPath? E.g. myXElement.GetXPath()? EDIT: Okay, looks like I overlooked something very important. Whoops! The index of the element needs to be taken into account. S...

I have a situation where I have an xml file that I don't want to modify. The AddAnnotation function in XElement class provides an option to add memory-only data which is not serialized and not part of the XML. I want to be able to save these annotations (for example: to another xml file) and then to deserialize both the xml and the ann...
Hi, when I subclass from XElement, the DataTemplate that works for XElement using the element name as DatatType, doesn't work for the subclass.

When updates occur to the map, I am synchronizing the writer threads, but am doing nothing with the readers, just allowing them to grab the XElement when they need it. In testing, I thought that if I was enumerating the XElement from a reader thread, while I update...
