How to add mixed Text and XElements on XElement value

Question

I am trying to add as value to an XElement mixed text and inline elements.

For example when setting the string "this is a mixed text <foo>and</foo> inline element." the XElement.Nodes to be able to return the text node as XmlNodeType.Text & the element as XmlNodeType.Element.

Thanks in advance.

Use e.g. new XElement("parent", "this is a mixed text ", new XElement("foo", "and"), " inline element.") respectively element.Add("this is a mixed text ", new XElement("foo", "and"), " inline element.").

If you have a plain string then use e.g.

element.Add(XElement.Parse("<root>" + "this is a mixed text <foo>and</foo> inline element." + "</root>").Nodes());

@NickT, you can use `XElement.Parse` with a dummy wrapper element in that case. – Martin Honnen May 08 '14 at 14:28
I use something like XElement.Parse("" + myString + ""); and it works! – Nick T May 08 '14 at 14:29
