Linq-to-XML query to select specific sub-element based on additional criteria

My current LINQ query and example XML are below. What I'd like to do is select the primary email address from the email-addresses element into the User.Email property.

• The type element under the email-address element is set to primary when this is true.
• There may be more than one element under the email-addresses but only one will be marked primary.

What is the simplest approach to take here?

Current Linq Query (User.Email is currently empty):

var users = from response in xdoc.Descendants("response")
            where response.Element("id") != null
            select new User
                       {
                           Id = (string)response.Element("id"),
                           Name = (string)response.Element("full-name"),
                           Email = (string)response.Element("email-addresses"),
                           JobTitle = (string)response.Element("job-title"),
                           NetworkId = (string)response.Element("network-id"),
                           Type = (string)response.Element("type")
                       };

Using Lambda Expression:

var users = xdoc.Root.Elements( "response" )
    .Where( x => !string.IsNullOrEmpty( x.Element( "id" ).Value ) )
    .Select( x => new User
              {
                Id = x.Element( "id" ).Value,
                Name = x.Element( "full-name" ).Value,
                Email = x.Descendants( "email-address" )
                            .Where( y => y.Element( "type" ).Value == "primary" )
                            .First().Element( "address" ).Value,
                JobTitle = x.Element( "job-title" ).Value,
                NetworkId = x.Element( "network-id" ).Value,
                Type = x.Element( "type" ).Value,
              } );

The Query Expression isn't much different:

var users = from response in xdoc.Descendants( "response" )
            where response.Element( "id" ) != null
            select new User
            {
                Id = response.Element( "id" ).Value,
                Name = response.Element( "full-name" ).Value,
                Email = response.Descendants( "email-address" )
                            .Where( x => x.Element( "type" ).Value == "primary" )
                            .First().Element( "address" ).Value,
                JobTitle = response.Element( "job-title" ).Value,
                NetworkId = response.Element( "network-id" ).Value,
                Type = response.Element( "type" ).Value
            };

Like this:

response.Descendants("email-address")
        .Single(a => a.Element("type").Value == "primary")
        .Element("address").Value

Note that this will throw an exception if there isn't exactly one matching element.
If you don't want that, call FirstOrDefault.

You might want to replace .Descendants("email-address") with .Element("contact").Element("email-addresses").Element("email-address").
