Question

I have created an xml file like below

<Engagements>
    <User name ="jjjj">
        <Engagement id="1111"/>
    </User>
    <User name ="kkkk">
        <Engagement id="2222"/>
    </User>
</Engagements>

I need to get all the id values from all of the Engagement nodes.

This is what I currently have:

public static void ParseXml(XmlDocument xmlFile) 
{
  XmlNodeList nodes = xmlFile.SelectNodes("//Engagement"); 
  foreach (XmlNode node in nodes) 
  { 
    // What goes here?
  } 
}

Use LINQ to XML:

XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(xml);
var ids = doc.Descendants("Engagement").Attributes("id").Select(x => x.Value);

foreach (var id in ids)
    Console.WriteLine(id);
