Here is my code which doesn't work because party 3 doesn't contain FullName, I know that partyelements contains 3 parties if I only return the name attribute. Is there a way to loop through each tag seperate?

        var partyElements = from party in xmlDoc.Descendants("Party")
           select new
           {
               Name = party.Attribute("id").Value,
               PartyTypeCode = party.Element("PartyTypeCode").Value,
               FullName = party.Element("FullName").Value,
               GovtID = party.Element("GovtID").Value,
           };
