c# linq to xml to list
- by WtFudgE
I was wondering if there is a way to get a list of results into a list with linq to xml. If I would have the following xml for example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Sports xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<SportPages>
<SportPage type="test">
<LinkPage>
<IDList>
<string>1</string>
<string>2</string>
</IDList>
</LinkPage>
</SportPage>
</SportPages>
</Sports>
How could I get a list of strings from the IDList?
I'm fairly new to linq to xml so I just tried some stuff out, I'm currently at this point:
var IDs = from sportpage in xDoc.Descendants("SportPages").Descendants("SportPage")
where sportpage.Attribute("type").Value == "Karate"
select new
{
ID = sportpage.Element("LinkPage").Element("IDList").Elements("string")
};
But the var is to chaotic to read decently. Isn't there a way I could just get a list of strings from this?
Thanks
