Use LoadXml Method of XmlDocument;

string xml = "<head><body><Inner> welcome </head> </Inner> <Outer> Bye</Outer></body></head>";
xDoc.LoadXml(xml);

// using System.Xml;

String rawXml =
      @"<root>
          <person firstname=""Riley"" lastname=""Scott"" />
          <person firstname=""Thomas"" lastname=""Scott"" />
      </root>";

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(rawXml);

I think this should work.

Just as a note, you need to escape the quotes in order to compile that code, to escape them use double quotes (""). <person firstname=""Riley"" lastname=""Scott"" />

You're absolutely right. I forget about the double quotes inside the string. Corrected that.

string test = "<body><head>test header</head></body>";

XmlDocument xmltest = new XmlDocument();
xmltest.LoadXml(test);

XmlNodeList elemlist = xmltest.GetElementsByTagName("head");

string result = elemlist[0].InnerXml; 

//result -> "test header"

What if this test header has some special characters like < or >?

xDoc.LoadXML("<head><body><Inner> welcome </head> </Inner> <Outer> Bye</Outer>                    
                    </body></head>");
