How to create the XDocument instance for loading the XML file after deserializing the the object?

Question

I am developing window phone 7 application. I am new to the window phone 7 application. I am referring to the following link for XML Serialization & Deserialization.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/windows-phone-7/wp7rssreader.aspx

In the above link the LoadFromIso() function is used for XML Deserialization. I want to load the xml file after deserialization in the above link. In simple one case we can do this as in the following code. Similar to the following code I want "doc" in the above link. In the following code we can perform the various opeations on the XML file by using LINQ to XML with following statement

doc = XDocument.Load(isfStream);  

The complete code is as follows

IsolatedStorageFile isfData = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
            XDocument doc = null;
            IsolatedStorageFileStream isfStream = null;
            if (isfData.FileExists(strXMLFile))
            {
                isfStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(strXMLFile, FileMode.Open, isfData);
                doc = XDocument.Load(isfStream);                
                isfStream.Close();
            }

In the similar way I want the instance of the XDocument after deserializing the object so that I can perform the various operations on the XML file by using LINQ to XML. Can you please provide me any code or link through which I can obtain the instance of the XDocument so that I can load the XML file & perform the various operation on the XML file by using the LINQ to XML ?

Answer 1

The variable doc in your code is an XDocument of the deserialized content.
You can perform your operations on/with doc.

Answer 2

A simple WP7 project demonstrating loading XML using XDocument and LINQ and data binding to a listbox here. As Matt advises the work gets done on your XDocument instance.
