  </KW>
</KWS>

My C# code to get every LINK inside YT-LINK

        XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
        xml.Load(file);

        XmlNodeList nodes = xml.SelectNodes("//KW");

        foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
        {
            KWDATA k = new KWDATA();

            k.KEYWORD = node.SelectSingleNode("KWNAME").InnerText;
            k.GSC = node.SelectSingleNode("GSC").InnerText;
            k.YTC = node.SelectSingleNode("YSC").InnerText;
            k.N_VIDEOS_TOP_10 = node.SelectSingleNode("TOP10").InnerText;
            k.N_VIDEOS_TOP_100 = node.SelectSingleNode("TOP100").InnerText;
            k.N_OF_KW_SEARCH_IN_GOOGLE = node.SelectSingleNode("SEARCH-US-C").InnerText;

            List<string> YT_LINKS = new List<string>();
            foreach (XmlNode node2 in node.SelectNodes("YTLINKS")) // <-- i know something is wrong here
            {
                MessageBox.Show(node2.SelectSingleNode("YT-LINK").InnerText);
                YT_LINKS.Add(node2.SelectSingleNode("YT-LINK").InnerText);
            }
            k.YTLINKS = YT_LINKS;

but i only get the first link for each entry like :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh5vptODX-M

Only and the rest won’t be retrieved.

The “YTLINKS” node is a single one, you can select that one first, then iterate through the collection of “YTLINK” nodes within:

var ytlinks = node.SelectSingleNode("YTLINKS");

foreach (XmlNode node2 in ytlinks.SelectNodes("YTLINK"))
{           
    YT_LINKS.Add(node2.InnerText);
}
