Linq to XML, C#

I have a multilevel xml that i receive from queues. I need to break each level and put into database. Below is the example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
   <Request>
     <transactionID>3</transactionID>
       <units>
         <Number>001</serialNumber>
         <Id>222</instanceId>
         <fNumber>765</routeNumber>
         <status>open</status>
         <Message>Error</errorMessage>
       </units>
       <units>
         <Number>009</serialNumber>
         <Id>675</instanceId>
         <fNumber>765</routeNumber>
         <status>Close</status>
         <Message>mesage</errorMessage>
       </units>
     </Request>

You can use Linq to XML to navigate through the XML and break it down or you might Deserialize the XML into a C# object Have a look at
