Is there an XElement equivalent to XmlWriter.WriteRaw?

I'm converting some code that currently uses an XmlWriter to create a document to instead return an XElement of the content.

So far, I'm enjoying structuring the code in a way that mimics the structure of the document, but there is content that was written using XmlWriter.WriteRaw to avoid re-xmlizing the xml. I can't find any equivalent in the System.Xml.Linq namespace. Does one exist?

Solution

  • XElement.Parse() should do the trick.

    For example:

    XElement e = new XElement("root",
    new XElement("child",
        XElement.Parse("<big><blob><of><xml></xml></of></blob></big>"),
        new XElement("moreXml")));
