Use XDocument as the source for XmlSerializer.Deserialize?

Question

I would like to invoke XmlSerializer.Deserialize passing it an XDocument. It can take a Stream, an XmlReader or a T

Answer 1

You can use XDocument.CreateReader() to create an XmlReader that reads the contents of the XDocument.

Equivalently, the following will work too.

XmlReader GetReader(XDocument doc)
{
    return doc.Root.CreateReader();
}
