Question

HI,

Is there any ‘correct’ way to convert an XElement to an XmlNode in C# – LinqToXML makes it nice to build the required XML programmatically but SharePoint web services requires an XmlNode, so whats the best way to mix and match?

Answer 1

Use CreateReader() and an XmlDocument like

XmlDocument myXmlNode = new XmlDocument(); using (XmlReader reader = myXElement.CreateReader()) {     myXmlNode.Load(reader); } 

XmlDocument derives from XmlNode.
