Assuming what you want to do is open the document anyway, you can set the ConformanceLevel of the XmlReader to ConformanceLevel.Fragment.

XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment;

// input is a stream or filename
using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(input, settings)) {
    // use the reader
}
