Question

This is the XML file which I have:

<Root>
    <Level1>
        <Foo ID="1" Count="20" />
        <Foo ID="2" Count="28" />
        <Foo ID="3" Count="25" />
    </Level1>
</Root>

I only have one Level 1 element in my XML, and inside of it there several Foo nodes.

How can I get that Foo nodes in a dictionary?
I mean Dictionary<int, int>.

Answer 1

var doc = XDocument.Load(fileName);
var dictionary =
    doc.Root
        .Element("Level1")
        .Elements("Foo")
        .ToDictionary(
            e => (int)e.Attribute("Id"),
            e => (int)e.Attribute("Count"));
