Query XML file with LINQ in C#

i have a LINQ query for my XML file and it looks like this

  IEnumerable<XElement> c = from cli in xEl.Elements(ns + "client") 
                                      where cli.Element(ns+"ID").Value == (((Client)cComboBox.SelectedItem).Id +"")
                                      select cli;

it works fine.. Next i want to iterate that data so i do this

           foreach (XElement el in c)
           {

           }

my xml file looks like this

 <client>
    <ID>1</ID>
    <name>Andrej</name>

through that iteration, i want to extract clients values (id -> 1, name -> Andrej)

my guess was to put el.Element("name").Value in the middle of the loop, but that doesn't work... oh and btw: i'm doing this in C#..

What do i开发者_运维知识库 do?

btw2: as you can see i'm new to linq so i think i'm way off track with this one...

Any help would be appriciated!! TNX!

If I use this code:

  public void Run()
  {
      string fileToLoad = this.GetType().Name + ".xml";

      XElement root = XElement.Load(fileToLoad);

      var selected = from cli in root.Elements("client")
          where cli.Element("ID").Value == "1"
          select cli;

      System.Console.WriteLine("Selected:");
      foreach (var d in selected)
          Console.WriteLine("{0}", d.ToString());

      System.Console.WriteLine("\nitems:");
      foreach (var d in selected)
      {
          Console.WriteLine("id: {0}", d.Element("ID"));
      }
  }

And this source data:

<root>
  <client>
    <ID>1</ID>
    <name>Andrej</name>
  </client>
  <client>
    <ID>2</ID>
    <name>William</name>
  </client>
  <client>
    <ID>3</ID>
    <name>Kate</name>
  </client>
</root>

Then... I get this result:

Selected:
<client>
  <ID>1</ID>
  <name>Andrej</name>
</client>

items:
id: <ID>1</ID>

you could do it in one statement. I'm paraphrasing your statement. Only the select really changes.

    var nameIdList = (from cli in client
where cli.ID == ID
select new { id=cli.ID, name=cli.name }).ToList();
