any ideas?

try this:

var components =     doc         .descendants("component")         .select(x => new component()         {             name = (string)x.attribute("name"),             sample = string.join("", x.element("sample").nodes().oftype<xcomment>()),             data = string.join("", x.element("data").nodes().oftype<xcomment>()),         });
