What do you want the resulting XML to be? – George Duckett Oct 21 '11 at 09:27

2@George: `XElement`, that part of the question was clear... – H H Oct 21 '11 at 09:35

Would `Hey` be the tag name or value? If value, what should the name be? – George Duckett Oct 21 '11 at 09:37

Looks like the question is edited to be clear now. – George Duckett Oct 21 '11 at 09:38

1realn, note that you must **code-format** xml (using back ticks `` or a four-space indent) in order for it to appear correctly in your question. See my edit for an example. – AakashM Oct 21 '11 at 09:39

Use XElement.Parse method like below
XElement xmlTree = XElement.Parse("<Root><Child>Hey</Child></Root>");
Console.WriteLine(xmlTree);

1+1 :-) (I've change the sample XML to his sample XML. The "meat" of the code doesn't change) – xanatos Oct 21 '11 at 09:41
