Xdocument does not print declaration

Solution
How are you printing out the contents of your `XDocument`?
The `.ToString()` method does not include the xml header, but the `.Save()` method does.
Edit: The same answer was given here.
Problem
I try to use the domainpeople.com API and to do I need to use XML. Currently I have an error saying "apiProtocol is not found" I guess then that my Xml document is malformed. The Current xml sent is : ``` <apiProtocol version="1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNameSpaceSchemaLocation="checkrequest.xsd"> <checkRequest user="ifuzion" password="fish4gold121" reference="123456789"> <domain name="google.com" /> </checkRequest> </apiProtocol> ``` Apparently the `<?xml?>` part does not print out. My code is basically something similar to : ``` XDocument xDocument = new XDocument( new XDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", "yes"), new XElement("Books")); ``` (I stripped my code for a question of simplicity but the structure is exactly similar). Is there any reason why XDocument doesn't print out the `<?xml?>` part ? It seems that with XmlDocument it works but not with XDocument ... any hints ?
