How do I get a list of child elements from XDocument object?
- by Nick
Hello..
I am trying to get all of the "video" elements and their attributes from an XML file that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<videos>
<video title="video1" path="videos\video1.wma"/>
<video title="video2" path="videos\video2.wma"/>
<video title="video3" path="videos\video3.wma"/>
</videos>
The following will only select the root node and all of the children. I would like to get all of the 'video' elements into the IEnumerable. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
IEnumerable<XElement> elements = from xml in _xdoc.Descendants("videos")
select xml;
The above returns a collection with a length == 1. It contains the root element and all the children.
