如何使用XDocument获取属性名称和Elemnt值

Question

I am currently working on an ASP.NET Web Forms application and .NET 4.0. I don't have previous experience with XML in .NET. I created this very simple XML document from which I want to extract the attributes with their respective data :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <DataTable>
    <Filter>true</Filter>
    <DropDown>true</DropDown>
  </DataTable>  
</configuration>

And I try this code:

var path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/XML/Settings.xml");
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(path);

IEnumerable<XElement> xnodes = xdoc.Root.Elements("DataTable");

List<string> list = new List<string>();

foreach (XElement xnn in xnodes)
{
   list.Add(xnn.Value);
}

which results in in one element in my List with value truetrue . I know here I don't try to get both the attribute name and the content inside it, but in general that's what I wanna do, so how can I accomplish it?

Answer 1

There is no attribute here. I think you want a dictionary where keys are the element names and values are element values

var dictionary = xdoc.Root.Elements("DataTable").Elements()
               .ToDictionary(x => x.Name.LocalName, x => (string)x)

Answer 2

You can get all elements as dictionary

 var dictionary = xdoc.Descendants().
     ToDictionary(x => x.Name.LocalName, x => x.Value)

Answer 3

had you tried using the XmlConvert.ToBoolean() function?

Also, I would have preferred to use Linq syntax when working with XML files.
