Answer 2

The simplest way to do this is with LINQ to XML - something like this:

XDocument input = XDocument.Load("input.xml");
XElement firstChild = input.Root.Elements().First();
XDocument output = new XDocument(new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "yes"),
                                 firstChild);
output.Save("output.xml");

Or if you don't need the XML declaration:

XDocument input = XDocument.Load("input.xml");
XElement firstChild = input.Root.Elements().First();
firstChild.Save("output.xml");
