Inserting multiple Attributes into an XML Element. LINQ SQL

I am able to get my results, but seems like there is a better way to do it.

        doc.Element("XML").SetAttributeValue("Type", "ListBuilder");
        doc.Element("XML")
           .Element("Order").SetAttributeValue("No", 425654);
        doc.Element("XML")
           .Element("Order").SetAttributeValue("DispDate", today);
        doc.Element("XML")
           .Element("Order").SetAttributeValue("Basket", 3536);

enter image description here

You could do the same by adding XAttribute items to the elements. This leaves you with more options in general as these could be dynamically generated if you needed to.

doc.Element("XML").Add(new XAttribute("Type", "ListBuilder"));
doc.Element("XML").Element("Order").Add(new[]
{
    new XAttribute("No", 425654),
    new XAttribute("DispDate", today),
    new XAttribute("Basket", 3536),
});

Maybe saving your element references in variables to not search them every time you need to add an attribute to them:

var xml= doc.Element("XML");
xml.SetAttributeValue("Type", "ListBuilder");

var order=xml.Element("Order");
order.SetAttributeValue("No", 425654);
//...
