Question

How to parser this xml content.

<Content>    
    <caption> Today Headline </caption>        
    <s1>        
        <name>6</name>
        <name>4</name>
        <name>4</name>        
    </s1>            
    <s2>        
        <name>3</name>
        <name>6</name>
        <name>0</name>        
    </s2>    
</Content>

Mycode:

date = (from story 
        in xmlParser.Descendants("s1")
        select new EspnViewModel
        {
            Category = story.Element("name").Value,

        }).ToList();
        return data;

I’m having a hard time trying to figure out how to parse everything out.

Answer 1

Why dont you use xmlParser.Descendants(“name”) instead?

EDIT:

var caption = xmlParser.Descendants(“caption”).First().InnerText;

var names = from story in xmlParser.Descendants(“name”)
select new EspnViewModel
{
Category = story.InnerText
}).ToList();

Note: I am writing this in haste, but you get the idea..
