I have string like this 

"<root><text>My test is > & < </text></root>"

Actually this is correct xml, except &, <, > symbols.

I need to convert it to <root><text>My test is &gt; &amp; &lt; </text></root> before I convert it with XElement.Parse(str);

How to make this conversion?

    This is nigh-on impossible to achieve reliably. You should correct this issue at source. If you control the system that is inserting the “My test is > & < ” string, then you should escape this string before inserting it. HttpUtility.HtmlEncode is a reasonable way of doing that.
