How to extracting the XML contents of an XDocument variable?

I have the a full XML file in an XDocument variable which I get from some API like this

using (var reader = XmlReader.Create("website"))
        {
   开发者_开发知识库         doc = XDocument.Load(reader);
        }

I need to get the structure of the XML and navigate through its nodes, but through the XDocument variable, I only get the whole document in one node and can not extract each node by itself. So any solution or shall I use another way?

http://www.hookedonlinq.com/LINQtoXML5MinuteOverview.ashx is a good article on building it up

you can also use linq to query it

for instance

var loaded = XDocument.Load("sdaf");
var q = from c in loaded.Descendants("contact")
        where (int)c.Attribute("contactId") < 4
        select (string)c.Element("firstName") + “ “ +
      (string)c.Element("lastName");

The XDocument and XElement objects kick ass in my opinion. If you dont like them then go learn xpath and xslt.

To obtain the immediate child nodes of your XDocument you can try

    using (var reader = XmlReader.Create("website"))
    {
        var doc = XDocument.Load(reader);
        var childElements = doc.Elements();
    }

Then do further processing such as childElements.Descendants("name").Single().Value.

string xml = reader.ReadToEnd();

XmlDocument thisXmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
thisXmlDoc.LoadXml(xml); // In your case DOC

reader.Close();

XPathNavigator thisNavigator = thisXmlDoc.CreateNavigator();
XPathNodeIterator dossierNodes = thisNavigator.Select("Nodename/node");

List<Dossier> thisList = GetDossiers(dossierNodes);
thisDossierList = thisList.OrderBy(c => c.something).ToList();

he is using XDocument objects, not XMLDocument objects. – John Nicholas 52 secs ago

Damn, you're right. Sorry! Only tried to help...

XmlDocument xdoc;
xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.Load(XmlReader.Create("weblink"));

The XDocument is not possible to be analyzed and extract its XML values which is possible in XmlDocument
