How to add an existing Xml string into a XElement?

This code

        var doc = new XDocument(
            new XElement(\"results\", \".

See my answer on Is there an XElement equivalent to XmlWriter.WriteRaw?

Essentially, replace a placeholder for the content only if you know it's already valid XML.

var d = new XElement(root, XML_PLACEHOLDER);
var s = d.ToString().Replace(XML_PLACEHOLDER, child);

This method may also be faster than parsing it with XElement.Parse.
