Read data from XElement that has elements mixed with plain content

[ChrisSteele]

XElement has the following value:\[code\]<parent><child>text inside element</child>and plain content</parent>\[/code\]How can I convert it to a string that contains: "text inside element and plain content".What I've tried already?I tired to use \[code\]xElement.Value\[/code\], but this concats the two nodes without putting a space between them: "text inside elementand plain content".
