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.-->
