Hi Chris, I looked at using Linq to XML, but you miss out on validation because L2XML doesn't check anything against the schema. Have a look at my post about changing CodeDomReader to handle <? include ?>. This method works *far* better than any L2XML solution. You get to work with actual objects and properties, rather than using XElement and having to discover what the properties are.
