LINQ to XML Annotations

Annotations in LINQ to XML enable you to associate any arbitrary object of any arbitrary type with any XML component in an XML tree.

To add an annotation to an XML component, such as an XElement or XAttribute, you call the AddAnnotation method. You retrieve annotations by type.

Note that annotations are not part of the XML infoset; they are not serialized or deserialized.

Methods

You can use the following methods when working with annotations:

Method	Description

Annotation	Gets the first annotation object of the specified type from an XObject.
Annotations	Gets a collection of annotations of the specified type for an XObject.
