convert XmlNode to XNode?

Question

Anyone know off the top of their heads how to convert a System.Xml.XmlNode to System.Xml.Linq.XNode?

Answer 1

I've never tried, but my first thought would be something like:

XmlNode myNode;
XNode translatedNode = XDocument.Parse(myNode.OuterXml);

Answer 2

Eric White's blog is the place to be for cool XML/XLINQ conversions and such. I know this question pre-date's the post but I found it while looking at some other Q, so maybe people still come across this a fair amount. His blog has plenty of optimized LINQ, like I suspect the .Parse() call for the origional responce is non-optimal, well in-fact I know it is not.

Parse is going to require that the XML be loaded up in one shot, Eric used extension methods which process the XML conversion with XmlReader/Writer's. Those methods are able to stream the input, so if your XML is of any substantional size, you have to use them.
