linq xml select node -

i have xml document:

<users>         <user_tuple>           <userid>u01</userid>           <code>             <name>tom jones</name>           </code>           <rating>b</rating>         </user_tuple>         <user_tuple>           <userid>u02</userid>           <code>              <name>mary doe</name>           </code>           <rating>a</rating>         </user_tuple>         <user_tuple>           <userid>u03</userid>           <code>             <name>dee linquent</name>           </code>          <rating>d</rating>         </user_tuple> 

how select (and child nodes/elements) element("userid").value=="u01" , element("name").value=="tom jones" etc ie want results:

 <user_tuple>       <userid>u01</userid>       <code>         <name>tom jones</name>       </code>       <rating>b</rating>     </user_tuple> 

i'm using c#

public void searchinfo(string rootnode, string element1name, string element2name,  string element1val, string element2val){   ////// select rootnode , descend nodes      var res = root.elements("rootnode")        .where(           x =>               (string)x.element(element1name) == element1val&&              (string)x.element(element2name) == element2val)        ).tolist(); ///////////      foreach (var node in res){  debug.writeline("name {0} value {1}", node.name, node.value)  } 

example:

searchinfo("rootnode","userid","code", "u01", "tom jones")

res =  <userid>u01</userid>           <code>             <name>tom jones</name>           </code>           <rating>b</rating>  , result: userid u01 name tom jones  rating b 

is possible?

try this

var doc = xdocument.parse(s); var res = doc.elements("users").elements("user_tuple")    .where(       x =>           (string)x.element("userid") == "u01" &&          (string)x.element("code").element("name") == "tomjones")    ).tolist(); 

or use xpath:

var res = doc.xpathselectelements("                 users/user_tuple[userid='u01' , code[name='tomjones']]           ").tolist();
