Im getting following error when i try to load XDocument. Here my code
<div style="background-color:white; color:black
<pre> <span style="color:blue private <span style="color:blue void GenerateXML()

{

AppealRoot root = <span style="color:blue new AppealRoot();

root.AppealForm = <span style="color:blue new AppealRootAppealForm();

root.AppealForm.TaxYear = 2011;

root.AppealForm.FirstName = <span style="color:#a31515 "James";

root.AppealForm.LastName = <span style="color:#a31515 "Smith";



MyXmlSerializer<AppealRoot> ser = <span style="color:blue new MyXmlSerializer<AppealRoot>();

<span style="color:blue string xml = ser.Serialize(root);

XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load(<span style="color:blue new StringReader(xml));

WriteToFile(xml);

}



<span style="color:blue public <span style="color:blue class MyXmlSerializer<T>

{

<span style="color:blue private XmlSerializer _serializer = <span style="color:blue null;

<span style="color:blue public MyXmlSerializer()

{

_serializer = <span style="color:blue new XmlSerializer(<span style="color:blue typeof(T));

}



<span style="color:blue public <span style="color:blue string Serialize(T instance)

{

<span style="color:green //Since .NET strings are always stored in UTF-16, if we use StringWriter or StringBuilder

<span style="color:green //our resulting xml string will have the encoding of UTF-16. One way to get around this is

<span style="color:green //by creating a MemoryStream, creating a StreamWriter, and applying the UTF-8 encoding.

<span style="color:blue using (System.IO.MemoryStream stream = <span style="color:blue new System.IO.MemoryStream())

{

<span style="color:blue using (System.Xml.XmlTextWriter xtWriter = <span style="color:blue new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(stream, Encoding.UTF8))

{

_serializer.Serialize(xtWriter, instance);

xtWriter.Flush();

stream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);

<span style="color:blue return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(stream.ToArray());

}

}

}

}
