In my case I was trying to add more than one XElement to xDocument which throw this exception. Please see below for my correct code which solved my issue

string distributorInfo = string.Empty;

        XDocument distributors = new XDocument();
        XElement rootElement = new XElement("Distributors");
        XElement distributor = null;
        XAttribute id = null;


        distributor = new XElement("Distributor");
        id = new XAttribute("Id", "12345678");
        distributor.Add(id);
        rootElement.Add(distributor);

        distributor = new XElement("Distributor");
        id = new XAttribute("Id", "22222222");
        distributor.Add(id);
        rootElement.Add(distributor);

        distributors.Add(rootElement);


 distributorInfo = distributors.ToString();

Please see below for what I get in distributorInfo
