XElement.Parse(string s) or XElement.Parse(string s, LoadOptions l) hasn't a overload that accept an XDocument control.
According to this dotnetperls' example you can do this: 

XElement xelement = XElement.Load("myFile.xml");

XElement.Parse is used to load xml from a string, whereas Load is used to load an xml file - generally you won't need to use both.

I think you may be looking to do something like:

string file = @"C:\Program.xml";
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(file);
XElement root = doc.Root;
var value = root.Element("foo").Attribute("bar");
