Question

Can someone help me get the an elemnt by id?

For example if I have some thing like:

<abc>
    <x>tghgh</x>
    <y>fgghj</y>
    <z>dghj</z>
</abc>

If I say getelement(3) it should return me element.name as Z and element.value as dghj.

Is there already a function which I am missing or is there a way I can code this?

Answer 1

 using System.Xml.Linq;


 var doc = XDocument.Parse(xmlText);  
 var target = doc.Element("abc").Elements().ElementAt(2);

Note the counting starts at 0, so it’s ElementAt(2).

Finding the element with tag z is easier and faster:

 var target = doc.Element("abc").Element("z");

In both cases you have target.Name and target.Value
