My XML Response look like this.

 <Items>
   <Item>
     <ImageSets>
       <ImageSet Category="Primary">
          <SwatchImage>
             <URL>http://xxx.com/img1.jpg</URL>
             <Height Units="pixels">30</Height>
           </SwatchImage>
           </ImageSet>

          <ImageSet Category="Variant">
           <SwatchImage>
             <URL>http://xxx.com/img2.jpg</URL>
             <Height Units="pixels">30</Height>
           </SwatchImage>
           </ImageSet>

          <ImageSet Category="Variant">
           <SwatchImage>
             <URL>http://xxx.com/img3.jpg</URL>
             <Height Units="pixels">30</Height>
           </SwatchImage>
          </ImageSet>

          </ImageSets>
          </Item>
          </Items>

Now,How can i get the values (URL) of SwatchImage element, If the category name is “Variant” ? Let me know if you need more
information.

Answer 1

getting just the URL values for specific <ImageSet> nodes should be fairly simple, using the code samples supplied in the link I mentioned above:

XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load("file.xml");

string[] urls = xdoc
   .XPathSelectElements("//ImageSet[@Category='Variant']/SwatchImage/URL")
   .Select(n => n.Value)
   .ToArray();
