Examples

The following example creates a document with some complex content. It then uses this property to retrieve the document for the Child element.

XDocument doc = new XDocument(
    new XComment("A comment in the document."),
    new XElement("Root",
        new XElement("Child", "content")
    )
);
XElement child = doc.Descendants("Child").First();
XDocument documentOfChild = child.Document;
Console.WriteLine(documentOfChild.FirstNode);
Dim doc As XDocument = _
        <?xml version="1.0"?>
        <!--A comment in the document.-->
        <Root>
            <Child>content</Child>
         </Root>
Dim child As XElement = doc.Descendants("Child").First()
Dim documentOfChild As XDocument = child.Document
Console.WriteLine(documentOfChild.FirstNode)

This example produces the following output:

<!--A comment in the document.-->
