Put attributes via xelement_without duplicate xelement

My objectif is to put attributes via XElement,

This is my code :

*** My Class

**** implementation

I get this result:

XML

<Definition>
            <Definition ID="1" Name="COMPANY" xmlns=""/>                    
  </Definition>

So the result has a duplicate name XElement "Definition",

I want the result like this :

XML

<Definition id="1048591" Name="COMPANY"/>

What I have tried:

C#

[DataContract]
public class Characeristic
{    
    [DataMember]     
    public XElement Definition = new XElement("Definition");     
}

C#

  Characteristic lstChars = new Characteristic();                         

lstChars.Definition.SetAttributeValue("ID", finalCharac.ID);
lstChars.Definition.SetAttributeValue("Name", finalCharac.Name);

How are you populating an instance of your class, and how are you serializing it?

Try like this:

string TestXml = @"<Definition>
            <Definition ID='1' Name='COMPANY' xmlns=''/>
        </Definition > ";

XElement x = XElement.Parse(TestXml);
var def = x.Element("Definition");
Debug.Print(def.ToString());
