Question

I wonder how do I parse a specific person by the id in the xml below?

Also lets say I wanna loop through them all and add them to a listview, How do I do that with XmlDocument?

<users>
  <user id="Marcus">
    <website>www.google.com</website>
    <type>1</type>
  </user>
  <user id="John">
    <website>www.youtube.com</website>
    <type>1</type>
  </user>
  <user id="Josh">
    <website>www.google.com</website>
    <type>2</type>
  </user>
</users>

Here’s a linq to xml example –

using System.Xml.Linq;

var doc = XDocument.Parse(@"...");
var element = doc.XPathSelectElement("/users/user[@id='John']");
var website = element.XPathSelectElement("website").Value;
var type = int.Parse(element.XPathSelectElement("type").Value);
