[c#] Populate XDocument from String

I'm working on a little something and I am trying to figure out whether I can load an XDocument from a string. XDocument.Load() seems to take the string passed to it as a path to a physical XML file.

I want to try and bypass the step of first having to create the physical XML file and jump straight to populating the XDocument.

Any ideas?

How about this...?

TextReader tr = new StringReader("<Root>Content</Root>");
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(tr);
Console.WriteLine(doc);

This was taken from the MSDN docs for XDocument.Load, found here...

Try the Parse method.

You can use XDocument.Parse(string) instead of Load(string).
