How to read XML node value in C# using Linq?

This article will show you how you can read an XMl node using c#.net. this code you can use in your asp.net, mvc application.

So here is you XML file .

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <root>   <node1>Node 1 Value</node1>   <node2>Node 2 Value</node2>   <node3>Node 3 Value</node3>   <node4>Node 4 Value</node4> </root>

 Now check the code. In this code I have accessed the node 3 value using linq in c#.net.

 

string xmlFilePath = @"\App_Data\Node.xml";             XDocument _xdocument = XDocument.Load(Server.MapPath(xmlFilePath));             var xmlNnode = _xdocument.Descendants().Where(n => n.Name == "node3").FirstOrDefault();             string nodeValue;             if (xmlNnode != null)             {                 nodeValue = xmlNnode.Value;             }

 The above code is for asp.net or other web application. Now apply the break point and check the output.
