Question

I have the following XML

<School Version="30">
    <Math>
        <Lesson1 Type="Active">Introduction</Reset_mode>
        <Lesson2 Type="Active">Fundamentals</Reset_mode>         
    </Math>
</School>

I want to get the subelements lesson1, lesson2

I load the XML in XDocument

I have to question – what’s wrong in this query

var nodes = from C in document.Element("School").Elements()
            where document.Element("School").Elements().Contains(t => t.Name == "Math")
            select C ; //shortcutsXMLDocument.SelectNodes(Query); 

and it raise and error.

Also can I use XPath with XDocument?

Answer 1

You are looking for a ShortcutList element :

Element("ShortcutList")

Which does not exists.

You should write this to get subLessons :

var items = document.Element("School").Element("Math").Elements();

foreach(var item in items)
{
    DoSomething(item);
}
