c# - Multiple element name xml parsing -

i trying parse xml file using linq:

the xml structure seems done via attributes instead of element names. entry , entries specific entry name e.g "data": example data below.

<entry name="data"> <entry name="001" description="player left">   <entry name="001"  description="player left" type="richtext">joe bloggs</entry> </entry> <entry name="002" description="team left">   <entry name="002"  description="team left" type="richtext">stack overflow</entry>  </entry> 

there 2 entries or 100 need return under "data" attribute in case.

currently have is:

xdocument doc = xdocument.load(@"d:\element1.xml"); var stuff = doc.descendants("entry").where(x =>  (string)x.attribute("data") == "data").tolist(); 

i can specific values not whole lot.

i going take stab @ this. following want?

doc .descendants() .where(x => (string)x.attribute("name") == "data") .descendants();
