# Value (XElement dynamic property)

Gets or sets the content of the element.

## Syntax

```xaml
elem.Value
```

## Property value/return value

A <xref:System.String> that represents the concatenated contents of the element.

## Remarks

This property is equivalent to the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XElement.Value%2A> property of the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XElement?displayProperty=fullName> class, but this dynamic property also supports change notifications.
