How to: Load XML from a File, String, or Stream (Visual Basic)
You can create XML Literals and populate them with the contents from an external source such as a file, a string, or a stream by using several methods. These methods are shown in the following examples.
Note
Your computer might show different names or locations for some of the Visual Studio user interface elements in the following instructions. The Visual Studio edition that you have and the settings that you use determine these elements. For more information, see Personalizing the IDE.
To load XML from a file
To populate an XML literal such as an XElement or XDocument object from a file, use the method. This method can take a file path, text stream, or XML stream as input.
The following code example shows the use of the Load(String) method to populate an XDocument object with XML from a text file.
To load XML from a string
To populate an XML literal such as an XElement or XDocument object from a string, you can use the method.
The following code example shows the use of the XDocument.Parse(String) method to populate an XDocument object with XML from a string.
To load XML from a stream
To populate an XML literal such as an XElement or XDocument object from a stream, you can use the method or the XNode.ReadFrom method.
The following code example shows the use of the ReadFrom method to populate an XDocument object with XML from an XML stream.

Example
There are several ways interact with an Xml file.
- Xml Document
- XDocument
- XmlReader/XmlWriter
Before LINQ to XML we were used XMLDocument for manipulations in XML like adding attributes, elements and so on. Now LINQ to XML uses XDocument for the same kind of thing. Syntaxes are much easier than XMLDocument and it requires a minimal amount of code.
Also XDocument is mutch faster as XmlDocument. XmlDoucument is an old and dirty solution for query an XML document.
I am going to show some examples of XmlDocument class and XDocument class class:

Overloads
| Load(Stream) | Creates a new XDocument instance by using the specified stream. |
| Load(TextReader) | Creates a new XDocument from a TextReader. |
| Load(String) | Creates a new XDocument from a file. |
| Load(XmlReader) | Creates a new XDocument from an XmlReader. |
| Load(Stream, LoadOptions) | Creates a new XDocument instance by using the specified stream, optionally preserving white space, setting the base URI, and retaining line information. |
| Load(TextReader, LoadOptions) | Creates a new XDocument from a TextReader, optionally preserving white space, setting the base URI, and retaining line information. |
| Load(String, LoadOptions) | Creates a new XDocument from a file, optionally preserving white space, setting the base URI, and retaining line information. |
| Load(XmlReader, LoadOptions) | Loads an XDocument from an XmlReader, optionally setting the base URI, and retaining line information. |
Using one of the overloads of this method, you can load an XDocument from a file, a TextReader, or an XmlReader.
To create an XDocument from a string that contains XML, use Parse.
Load(Stream)
Creates a new XDocument instance by using the specified stream.
Parameters
- stream
- Stream
The stream that contains the XML data.
Returns
- XDocument
An XDocument object that reads the data that is contained in the stream.
Remarks
If you want to control load options, use the Load overload that takes LoadOptions as a parameter.
The loading functionality of LINQ to XML is built upon XmlReader. Therefore, you might catch any exceptions that are thrown by the XmlReader.Create overload methods and the XmlReader methods that read and parse the document.
If you have to modify XmlReaderSettings, follow these steps:
Create an XmlReader by calling one of the Create overloads that take XmlReaderSettings as a parameter.
Pass the XmlReader to one of the Load overloads of XDocument that takes XmlReader as a parameter.
Load(TextReader)
Parameters
Returns
- XDocument
An XDocument that contains the contents of the specified TextReader.
Examples
The following example creates a document from a StringReader.
This example produces the following output:
Remarks
LINQ to XML's loading functionality is built upon XmlReader. Therefore, you might catch any exceptions that are thrown by the XmlReader.Create overload methods and the XmlReader methods that read and parse the document.

Load(String)
Parameters
- uri
- String
A URI string that references the file to load into a new XDocument.
Returns
- XDocument
An XDocument that contains the contents of the specified file.
Examples
The following example shows how to load an XDocument from a file.
This example uses the following XML document:
Sample XML File: Typical Purchase Order (LINQ to XML)
This example produces the following output:
Remarks
This method uses an underlying XmlReader to read the XML into an XML tree.
Use Parse to create an XDocument from a string that contains XML.

Load(XmlReader)
Parameters
Returns
- XDocument
An XDocument that contains the contents of the specified XmlReader.
Examples
The following example creates a DOM document, creates an XmlNodeReader from the DOM document, creates an XDocument using the XmlNodeReader.
This example produces the following output:
Remarks
One possible use for this method is to create a copy of a DOM document in a LINQ to XML tree. To do this, you create an XmlNodeReader from a DOM document, and then use the XmlNodeReader to create an XDocument.

Load(Stream, LoadOptions)
Creates a new XDocument instance by using the specified stream, optionally preserving white space, setting the base URI, and retaining line information.
Parameters
- stream
- Stream
The stream containing the XML data.
Returns
- XDocument
An XDocument object that reads the data that is contained in the stream.
Remarks

Pass the XmlReader to one of the Load overloads of XDocument that takes XmlReader as a parameter.
Load(TextReader, LoadOptions)
Creates a new XDocument from a TextReader, optionally preserving white space, setting the base URI, and retaining line information.
Parameters
- options
- LoadOptions
A LoadOptions that specifies white space behavior, and whether to load base URI and line information.
Returns
- XDocument
An XDocument that contains the XML that was read from the specified TextReader.
Examples
The following example creates a document from a StringReader.
This example produces the following output:
Remarks
If the source XML is indented, setting the PreserveWhitespace flag in causes the reader to read all white space in the source XML. Nodes of type XText are created for both significant and insignificant white space.
If the source XML is indented, not setting the PreserveWhitespace flag in causes the reader to ignore all of the insignificant white space in the source XML. The XML tree is created without any text nodes for insignificant white space.
If the source XML is not indented, setting the PreserveWhitespace flag in has no effect. Significant white space is still preserved, and there are no spans of insignificant white space that could cause the creation of more white space text nodes.
For more information, see Preserve white space while loading or parsing XML and Preserve white space while serializing.
Use Parse to create an XElement from a string that contains XML.
Setting SetBaseUri is not valid when loading from a TextReader.
There is a performance penalty if you set the SetLineInfo flag.
The line information is accurate immediately after loading the XML document. If you modify the XML tree after loading the document, the line information may become meaningless.

Use Parse to create an XDocument from a string that contains XML.
Setting PreserveWhitespace is not valid when loading from a XmlReader. The XmlReader will be configured to either read whitespace or not. The LINQ to XML tree will be populated with the whitespace nodes that the reader surfaces. This will be the behavior regardless of whether PreserveWhitespace is set or not.
The XmlReader may have a valid base URI or not. If you set SetBaseUri, the base URI will be set in the XML tree from the base URI that is reported by the XmlReader.
The XmlReader may have a valid line information or not. If you set SetLineInfo, the line information will be set in the XML tree from the line information that is reported by the XmlReader.
There is a performance penalty if you set the SetLineInfo flag.
The line information is accurate immediately after loading the XML document. If you modify the XML tree after loading the document, the line information may become meaningless.

XDocument.Load using LoadOptions.PreserveWhitespace does not preserve NewLine characters when paired with XDocument.Save using LoadOptions.SaveOptions.DisableFormatting.
Steps to test
- Create a new Console Application project.
- Replace the code in Program.cs with the code below
- Build and run the console application.
Expected Outcome
Both sets of XML roundtrip and match.
Actual Outcome
One set of XML fails to roundtrip. The line endings used in the input xml are replaced with the NewLine characters for the current Environment.
