Reading in an individual element and its nodes in XML

So I have this:

<Configuration>
  <Name>VendorCode</Name>
  <Type>Value</Type>
  <UISettings>
  <Control>
  <Name>DataFieldSelector</Name>
    <Type>Value</Type>
  </Control>
  </UISettings>
  <Values>
   <Required>
     <VendorCode />
   </Required>
  <Optional />
 </Values>
</Configuration>

and from this, using C# I want a new XDocument like this:

<Values>
  <Required>
    <VendorCode />
  </Required>
  <Optional />
</Values>

I know how to get individual elements and nodes, but not a whole chunk including children level.

var doc = XDocument.Parse(xmlstring);
var values = doc.Root.Element("Values");

Getting the Root, then specifying that you want the Element "Values" will return everything as you describe.
