Remarks
Unlike XElement and XAttribute, you cannot retrieve the contents of a comment by casting it to a string. Instead, you must use this property to retrieve the contents.
Setting this property will raise the Changed and the Changing events.
Examples
The following example creates a comment node. It then retrieves the contents of the comment node.
Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim com As XComment = New XComment("This is a comment")
output.Append(com.Value)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XComment com = new XComment("This is a comment");
output.Append(com.Value);
output.Append(Environment.NewLine);
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
