XDocument to XElement

c#, linq-to-xml, xelement, xml

Solution

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`

Problem

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.
