Question

So i am able to select all the results under a certain node, but I have the following XML

<ArrayOfStop>
 <Stop>
   <StopName>Rajdutt Restaurant</StopName>
   <route_stop />
   <route_stop_stop />
   <route_stop_timetable_stop />
   <stopId>6400</stopId>
 </Stop>
 <Stop>
   <StopName>Cysleys Farm (by request only)</StopName>
   <route_stop />
   <route_stop_stop />
   <route_stop_timetable_stop />
   <stopId>6401</stopId>
 </Stop>
<ArrayOfStop>

If i want to select stopId if the stopname was Cysleys Farm (by request only) how would one go about it?

I have the following code:

XDocument loadedData = XDocument.Load("People.xml");

var data = from query in loadedData.Descendants("ArrayOfStop")
           select new Person
           { 
             StopName = (string)query.Element("StopName") 
           };

listBox.ItemsSource = data;

EDIT:

var data = from query in loadedData.Descendants("ArrayOfStop") 
  where query.Element("StopName").Value == "Cysleys Farm (by request only)" 
  select query.Element("StopId").Value; 

select new Person
{
   FirstName = (string)query.Element("StopName"),
   //LastName = (string)query.Element("Long"),
   //Age = (int)query.Element("age")
};

listBox.ItemsSource = data;

EDIT 2

Do the items need to be going into a list box? As i need the value in a string format to use on a url.

Answer 1

        var doc =
            XDocument.Parse(
                "<ArrayOfStop><Stop><StopName>Rajdutt Restaurant</StopName><route_stop /><route_stop_stop /><route_stop_timetable_stop /><stopId>6400</stopId></Stop><Stop><StopName>Cysleys Farm (by request only)</StopName><route_stop /><route_stop_stop /><route_stop_timetable_stop /><stopId>6401</stopId></Stop></ArrayOfStop>");

        var list = (from item in doc.Descendants("Stop")
                    where (string) item.Element("StopName") == "Cysleys Farm (by request only)"
                    select (string)item.Element("stopId")).ToList();
