XDocument or XmlDocument

Question

I am now learning XmlDocument but I\'ve just ran into XDocument and when I try to search the difference or benefits of them I can\'t find something useful, could you please

Answer 1

I am surprised none of the answers so far mentions the fact that XmlDocument provides no line information, while XDocument does (through the IXmlLineInfo interface).

This can be a critical feature in some cases (for example if you want to report errors in an XML, or keep track of where elements are defined in general) and you better be aware of this before you happily start to implement using XmlDocument, to later discover you have to change it all.
