The following example creates an XML tree that contains some child nodes. It then calls this method to remove the child nodes.

XElement xmlTree = new XElement("Root",  
    new XElement("Child1", 1),  
    new XElement("Child2", 2),  
    new XComment("a comment"),  
    new XElement("Child3", 3),  
    new XElement("Child4", 4),  
    new XText("mixed content"),  
    new XElement("Child5", 5)  
);  
xmlTree.RemoveNodes();  
Console.WriteLine(xmlTree);  
Dim xmltree As XElement = _   
    <Root>  
        <Child1>1</Child1>  
        <Child2>2</Child2>  
        <!--a comment-->  
        <Child3>3</Child3>  
        <Child4>4</Child4>mixed content<Child5>5</Child5>  
    </Root>  

xmltree.RemoveNodes()  
Console.WriteLine(xmltree)  

This example produces the following output:

<Root />
