XNamespace aw = "http://www.adventure-works.com";
XElement root = new XElement(aw + "Root",
new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "aw", "http://www.adventure-works.com"),
new XAttribute(aw + "Att", "content"),
new XAttribute("Att2", "different content")
);
foreach (XAttribute att in root.Attributes())
Console.WriteLine("{0}={1}", att.Name, att.Value);
Console.WriteLine("");
XElement newRoot = new XElement(aw + "Root",
from att in root.Attributes("Att2")
select new XAttribute(att.Name, "new content"));
foreach (XAttribute att in newRoot.Attributes())
Console.WriteLine("{0}={1}", att.Name, att.Value);
Dim root As XElement = _
<aw:Root xmlns:aw='http://www.adventure-works.com'
aw:Att='content'
Att2='different content'/>
For Each att As XAttribute In root.Attributes()
Console.WriteLine("{0}={1}", att.Name, att.Value)
Next
Console.WriteLine("")
Dim NewRoot As XElement = _
<Root
<%= _
From att In root.Attributes("Att2") _
Select New XAttribute(att.Name, "new content") _
%>>_
</Root>
For Each att As XAttribute In NewRoot.Attributes()
Console.WriteLine("{0}={1}", att.Name, att.Value)
Next
