I want to bind an XML document to a ListBox and access it using XDocument NOT XMLDocument

Question

I have managed to successfully bind an XML document to a list box. However to manipulate the XML I want to use LINQ to XML rather than the XmlDocment that the XmlDataProvider provides.

Is it possible to get an XDocument from the XmlDataProvider?

Given an XmlDocment you can probably use XmlDocment.OuterXml to get the XML as a string then use XDocument. CreateWriter to get an XmlWriter then write the XML using something such as XmlWriter. WriteRaw.
