Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim srcTree As XElement = _
<Root>
<Element1>1</Element1>
<Element2>2</Element2>
<Element3>3</Element3>
<Element4>4</Element4>
<Element5>5</Element5>
</Root>
Dim xmlTree As XElement = <Root>
<NewElement>Content</NewElement>
</Root>
xmlTree.AddFirst( _
From el In srcTree.Elements _
Where CInt(el) >= 3 _
Select el)
output.Append(xmlTree)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XElement srcTree = new XElement("Root",
new XElement("Element1", 1),
new XElement("Element2", 2),
new XElement("Element3", 3),
new XElement("Element4", 4),
new XElement("Element5", 5)
);
XElement xmlTree = new XElement("Root",
new XElement("NewElement", "Content")
);
xmlTree.AddFirst(
from el in srcTree.Elements()
where (int)el >= 3
select el
);
output.Append(xmlTree + Environment.NewLine);
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
