As you can see, the XElement and XDocument types each define a constructor that takes an

XName as the first parameter and a parameter array of objects as the second. The XName type is

used in LINQ to SQL to represent (obviously) the name of the item you are creating, while the

parameter array of objects can consist of any number of additional LINQ to XML types (XComment,

XProcessingInstruction, XElement, XAttribute, etc.), as well as simple strings (for element content)

or an object implementing IEnumerable.
