I have an xml document like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<demographics>
<country id="1" value="USA">
<state id ="1" value="California">
<city>Long Beach</city>
<city>Los Angeles</city>
<city>San Diego</city>
</state>
<state id ="2" value="Arizona">
<city>Tucson</city>
<city>Phoenix</city>
<city>Tempe</city>
</state>
</country>
<country id="2" value="Mexico">
<state id ="1" value="Baja California">
<city>Tijuana</city>
<city>Rosarito</city>
</state>
</country>
</demographics>
How do I setup LINQ queries for doing things like: 1. Get All Countries 2. Get All States in a Country 3. Get All Cities inside a state of a paricular country ?
I gave it a try and I am kind of confused when to use Elements["NodeName"] and Descendants etc. I know I am not the brightest XML guy around. Is the format of the XML file even correct for simple traversal?
