I have looked a bunch of XML samples using XDocument
and XElement
but they all seem to have self closing tags like <To Name="John Smith"/>
. I need to do the following:
<To Type="C">John Smith</To>
I thought the following would work and tried to look at the object model of the Linq.XML class, but I'm off just a tad (see line below that is not working)
new XElement("To", new XAttribute("Type", "C")).SetValue("John Smith")
Any assistance on how to get the XML formed properly is appreciated, thanks!
I'd use:
new XElement("To", new XAttribute("Type", "C"), "John Smith");
Any plain text content you provide within the XElement
constructor ends up as a text node.
You can call SetValue
separately of course, but as it doesn't return anything, you'll need to store a reference to the element in a variable first.
How about
new XElement("To", new XAttribute("Type", "C"), "John Smith")
