Somewhat surprisingly, the core LINQ to XML assembly (System.Xml.Linq.dll) defines a very small number of types in three distinct namespaces, specifically System.Xml.Linq, System.Xml.Schema, and System.Xml.XPath (see Figure 24-2).
The core namespace, System.Xml.Linq, contains a very manageable set of classes that represent various aspects of an XML document (its elements and their attributes, XML namespaces, XML comments, and processing instructions, etc.). Table 24-1 documents the core members of System.Xml.Linq.
