Question

How can I add/alter to my code so once if extracts out the values of the max/min it compare the extracted value to a set value and writes out pass/fail. For example: xmax extracts out and it is 280 and I have a condition in my code saying that xmax needs to be less than 275 so write out fail. This needs to be done for each max/min.Any Ideas…? I used linq to xml to parse but is their a better way?

var query = from file in fileEntries
                        let doc = XDocument.Load(file)
                        let x = doc.Descendants("XAxisCalib").Single()
                        let y = doc.Descendants("YAxisCalib").Single()
                        let z = doc.Descendants("ZAxisCalib").Single()
                        select new 
                       {

                            XMax = x.Element("Max").Value,
                            XMin = x.Element("Min").Value,
                            YMax = y.Element("Max").Value,
                            YMin = y.Element("Min").Value,
                            ZMax = z.Element("Max").Value,
                            ZMin = z.Element("Min").Value
                        };

Something like this maybe?

var results = from item in query
              select new 
              {
                   XMaxResult = item.XMax < 275 ? "pass" : "fail",
                   ...
              };
