XDocument到XElement

Question

How do you convert an XDocument to an XElement?

I found the following by searching, but it's for converting between XDocument and XmlDocument, not XDocument and XElement.

public static XElement ToXElement(this XmlElement xmlelement)
{
    return XElement.Load(xmlelement.CreateNavigator().ReadSubtree());
}

public static XmlDocument ToXmlDocument(this XDocument xdoc)
{
    var xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
    xmldoc.Load(xdoc.CreateReader());
    return xmldoc;
}

I couldn't find anything to convert an XDocument to an XElement. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Other people have said it, but here's explicitly a sample to convert XDocument to XElement:

 XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(...);
 return doc.Root;

Answer 2

XDocument to XmlDocument:

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load(xdoc.CreateReader());

XmlDocument to XDocument

XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load(new XmlNodeReader(xmlDoc));

To get the root element from the XDocument you use xDoc.Root

Answer 3

Simple conversion from XDocument to XElement

XElement cvtXDocumentToXElement(XDocument xDoc)
{
    XElement xmlOut = XElement.Parse(xDoc.ToString());
    return xmlOut;
}
