Hello
have been using LINQ to XML for a couple of months and finding it really useful. However theres something which I havent fully understood and I hope someone can help me out.
If I do something like the code below:
<span style="font-size:x-small; color:#0000ff; font-family:Consolas <span style="font-size:x-small; color:#0000ff; font-family:Consolas <span style="font-size:x-small; color:#0000ff; font-family:Consolas Dim <span style="font-size:x-small; font-family:Consolas <span style="font-size:x-small; font-family:Consolas xel

I seem to actually update the original section in the XmlDoc document. This is very useful when its what I want to do, but not when I want to manipulate a copy of the data without affecting the original!
<span style="font-size:x-small; font-family:Consolas <span style="font-size:x-small; font-family:Consolas How do I reliably get a separate stand-alone copy of an XML node (and its children if appropriate)?
<span style="font-size:x-small; font-family:Consolas <span style="font-size:x-small; font-family:Consolas Apologies if Ive just missed something really simple, and thanks for any help.
