Question

I have this xml file that i have created pragmatically using C# :-

<Years>
 <Year Year="2011">
  <Month Month="10">
    <Day Day="10" AccessStartTime="01:15 PM" ExitTime="01:15 PM" />
    <Day Day="11" AccessStartTime="01:15 PM" ExitTime="01:15 PM" />
    <Day Day="12" AccessStartTime="01:15 PM" ExitTime="01:15 PM" />
    <Day Day="13" AccessStartTime="01:15 PM" ExitTime="01:15 PM" />
   </Month>
   <Month Month="11">
    <Day Day="12" AccessStartTime="01:16 PM" ExitTime="01:16 PM" />
   </Month>
  </Year>
</Years>

I am having problems when i want to get specfic data from it while i am using XmlReader or i am doing it the wrong way cause each time the reader reads one single line and i what i want is to get a list of all days in a specific month and a year

Use Linq-XML or post the code you have tried.

var list = from ele in XDocument.Load(@"c:\filename.xml").Descendants("Year")
           select new  
                   {
                       Year = (string)ele.Attribute("Year"),
                       Month= (string)ele.Element("Month").Attribute("Month"),
                       Day = (string)ele.Element("Month").Element("Day").Attribute("Day")
                   };
foreach (var t in list)
  {
     Console.WriteLine(t.Year + " " + t.Month + " " + t.Day );
  }
