I have this XML in a column in my table: <keywords> <keyword name=First Name

I have this XML in a column in my table:

<keywords>   <keyword name='First Name' value='|FIRSTNAME|' display='Jack' />   <keyword name='Last Name' value='|LASTNAME|' display='Jones' />   <keyword name='City' value='|CITY|' display='Anytown' />   <keyword name='State' value='|STATE|' display='MD' /> </keywords>

I’m getting a record out of that table using LINQ to SQL via this:

GeneratedArticle ga = db.GeneratedArticles.Single(p => p.GeneratedArticleId == generatedArticleId);

That works, I get my GeneratedArticle object just fine.

I’d like to walk through the data in the ArticleKeywords field, which is XML. I started doing this:

var keywords = from k in ga.ArticleKeywords.Elements('Keywords')                     select k;              foreach (var keyword in keywords)             {              //what goes here?                }

I’m not 100% sure that I’m getting that data correctly. I need help with the proper syntax to get the value and display out of my XML field.
