What is a better way to retrieve this XElement when reading a csproj with XDocument?

Question

I'm adding files to the a cs project outside of vs.net (images, css, etc, files outside our group but are necessary to Publish). I'm loading the csproj and querying for the ItemGroup that contains the "Content" nodes.

XNamespace msbuild = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";
XDocument projectDocument = XDocument.Load("someproject.csproj");

var itemGroup = projectDocument.Element(msbuild + "Project")
                               .Elements(msbuild + "ItemGroup")
                               .Descendants()
                               .Where(x => x.Name == msbuild +"Content")
                               .First().Parent;

Is there a better way to get this group?

Thank you.

You could do it like this:

var itemGroup = 
    projectDocument.Element(msbuild + "Project")
                   .Elements(msbuild + "ItemGroup")
                   .Where(x => x.Descendants()
                                .Any(y => y.Name == msbuild +"Content")
                         )
                   .FirstOrDefault();
