Question

I tried to get the attributes from XNode I use the following code

        XDocument document = XDocument.Load(FilePath);

        var Elements = from p in document.Descendants(modality) select p.Elements("Key_Part");

        //var Attriputess = from p in document.Descendants(modality) select p.Attributes();    
        foreach (var Element in Elements)
        {

            foreach (var node in Element.Nodes())
            {

                XmlReader reader = node.CreateReader();



                string a = reader.GetAttribute("Type"); 


            }



        }

a always equal null
the XML type like this

<ShortcutList Version="8">
  <Doctor>
    <Key_Part >
        <Key1 Name = "XX" Type= "XXXXXXXXX" > rrrr</Key1>
        <Key2 Name = "XasfsaX" Type= "XXXXsafasfXXXXX" > rrsfsfrr</Key1>
    </Key_Part>

I want to get Key1 , Key2 attributes and value

Answer 1

I must say I’ve fixed XML you’ve provided before got working query below. So you’ve not closed two last tags and you’ve closed Key2 by </Key1> tag what is wrong XML.

Try out following, this will return list of entries (one per key) where each entry of anonymous type with properties: Name, Value, Type

var keys = xdoc.Descendants("ShortcutList")
               .Descendants("Doctor")
               .Descendants("Key_Part")
               .DescendantNodes()
               .OfType<XElement>()
               .Where(d => d.Name.LocalName.Contains("Key"))
               .Select(e => new {
                                 Value = e.Value, 
                                 Name = e.Attribute("Name").Value, 
                                 Type = e.Attribute("Type").Value
                                })
              .ToList();

EDIT: Fixed XML

<ShortcutList Version="8">
  <Doctor>
    <Key_Part >
        <Key1 Name = "XX" Type= "XXXXXXXXX" > rrrr</Key1>
        <Key2 Name = "XasfsaX" Type= "XXXXsafasfXXXXX" > rrsfsfrr</Key2>
    </Key_Part>
</Doctor>
</ShortcutList>
