'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Parent As XElement

Examples
The following example uses this method.
Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim doc As XDocument = _
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--A comment in the document.-->
<Root>
<Child>content</Child>
</Root>
Dim child As XElement = doc.Descendants("Child").First()
Dim root As XElement = child.Parent
output.Append(root.Name)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XDocument doc = new XDocument(
new XComment("A comment in the document."),
new XElement("Root",
new XElement("Child", "content")
)
);
XElement child = doc.Descendants("Child").First();
XElement root = child.Parent;
output.Append(root.Name + Environment.NewLine);
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
