I'm trying to stop the xml parser from converting the UTF-8 enitity hex codes to its character alternative and also not adding the extra space in self-closing nodes after parsing.

I've created a class for this (say DB_class) shown as below

using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Linq;
class tDocument:XDocument

 string input_string;
 int option;


 public tDocument(string input,int opt)
 
 this.input_string=input;
 this.option=opt;
 
 public static XDocument tParse(string path)
 
 string file_content = escape_string(File.ReadAllText(path), 0);
 XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(file_content, LoadOptions.PreserveWhitespace);
 return doc;
 
 public static void tSave(string path, XDocument doc)
 
 doc.Save(path, SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
 File.WriteAllText(path, escape_string(doc.ToString(), 1));
 
 public static string escape_string(string input_string, int option)
 
 switch (option)
 
 case 0:
 return input_string.Replace("&", "&");
 case 1:
 var x = input_string.Replace(" />", "/>");
 var y = x.Replace("&", "&");
 return y;

 default:
 return null;

 
 

Here is a random example to show how I'm using this class to do stuff (basically the program gets the value of node ID by matching the name from info.xml and adding it to the respective names attribute id in the xml file that I want to modify)

XDocument myfile=tDocument.tParse(@"D:testAPril 2018testing.xml");
var names=myfile.Descendants("name").ToList();
foreach (var name in names)

 XDocument infofile=tDocument.tParse(@"D:testAPril 2018info.xml");
 var data=infofile.Descendants("student").Where(x=>x.Element("s-name").Value==name.Value).Select(y=>y.Element("ID").Value).First();
 name.Add(new XAttribute("id",data));

tDocument.tSave(@"D:testAPril 2018testing.xml",myfile);
Console.ReadLine();

Here is the testing.xml and the info.xml

What I want to know is how can I make my class (DB_class) more efficient, and also if there is a better way doing what the class is doing?
