Question

How do you create a standalone XML node in .NET?

I have an XMLElement type that I’m trying to set a value to, but since the constructor for that class is protected, it won’t let me do it.

This is what I’m currently doing:

        XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
        XmlElement foo = xmldoc.CreateElement("", "foo"); ;
        XmlElement bar = xmldoc.CreateElement("", "bar"); ;

Is there a better way to do this?

Answer 1

you can try this

 public XElement ToXml()
 {
   XElement element = new XElement("Song",
                    new XElement("", "foo"),
                    new XElement("", "bar"));

   return element;
}
