Initializes a new instance of the XDocument class with the specified XDeclaration and content.

Namespace:  System.Xml.Linq
Assembly:  System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    declaration As XDeclaration, _
    ParamArray content As Object() _
)

public XDocument(
    XDeclaration declaration,
    params Object[] content
)

Parameters

  • content
    Type: array<System.Object[]
    The content of the document.

Remarks

There are not many scenarios that require you to create an XDocument. Instead, you can usually create your XML trees with an XElement root node. Unless you have a specific requirement to create a document (for example, because you have to create processing instructions and comments at the top level, or you have to support document types), it is often more convenient to use XElement as your root node.

For more information about the valid content of an XDocument, see Valid Content of XElement and XDocument Objects in the .NET Framework documentation.
