Hi Jerry -

Thank you for coming by the blog. XML Literals are a feature of VB.NET only.

To add an attribute, the code would look something like this:

Dim customerXml As XElement = _

<%= From c In custList _

Select <customer id=<%= c.CustomerId %>>

</customer> %>

</customers>

Hope this helps.

This looks very simple. Is this an aspect of LINQ or just part of VB.NET itself now?

ALSO, how would one add an attribute to the Customer element such that it read like this:

<Customer id="12345"> in the resulting XML
