Use XML literals in C #?

I can do it in Visual Basic, how to do it in C #

Dim xmlTree As XElement = <Employees></Employees> 

Answer 1

 XDocument document = XDocument.Parse("<Employees></Employees>") 

Answer 2

Try:

 XDocument document = XDocument.Parse("<Employees></Employees>") 

or

 XElement root = new XElement("Employees") 

Another way is to use the XmlDocument class:

 XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument(); document.LoadXml("<Employees></Employees>"); 

but I recommend using XDocument . It is newer than XmlDocument , it has a cleaner API and supports Linq To Xml .
