Many thanks to Martin Honnen and especially to Vitek Karas (for thorough explanations on the ground level) for <a title="http://forums.microsoft.com/forums/showpost.aspx?postid=3819821&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=2 http://forums.microsoft.com/forums/showpost.aspx?postid=3819821&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=2 helping me to break into Linq to Xml stuff. 

Now I am able to write fairly complex routines and see that the power of Linq is awesome. Still there are some problems. here is one:

<div class=codeseg>
<div class=codecontent>
<div class=codesniptitle>
 ( .searchXmlDict.Count > 0 ) 
{
System.Xml.Linq. xdoc = System.Xml.Linq. ( .searchXmlDict );

 


I get a runtime error quoted in the header. Both keys and values in the dictionary are ordinary string values that have been collected from another Xml file (this dictionary collection is simply a small subset of the original xml) that I built with XmlNotepad and have been able to process many times with Linq queries and other XDOM classes.

Why is it? What is the concept of the constructor for XDocument then?

Thanks.

P.S. I should probably explain the intent. I have a large xml file, I do a search thru it and a certain number of items are come up as a result. Lets say I get 5 items out of 400. I needd to store them in a separate Xml file. The key is the node ID (an Attribute.Value) and the Value is the XElement.Value (InnerText).
