Hello!

If got 2 Questions:

1. I've sarted working around with Linq to XML and i'm wondering if it is possible to change a XML document via Linq. I mean, is there someting like

XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Load("sample.xml");

update item in xmlDoc.Descendants("item")
where (int)item .Attribute("id") == id
...

2. I already know how to create and add a new XMLElement by simply using

xmlDoc.Element("items").Add(new XElement(......);

but how can i remove a single entry.

XML sample data:

<items>
  <item id="1" name="sample1" info="sample1 info" web="" />
  <item id="2" name="sample2" info="sample2 info" web="" />
</itmes>
