Parsing XML in C# creating a lists of user ID's

Question

I am trying to create a list of user id's from an xml document in C#. Here is my latest try:

        string xml = WebexAutomation.LstSummaryUser();
        XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(xml)
        var result = doc.Descendants("webExId").Single().Value;
        Console.WriteLine(result);

My XML looks like it has multiple users and I am trying to create list of each webExId

    </serv:bodyContent>
  </serv:body>
</serv:message>

Any suggestions?

Try this instead

var webExId = XName.Get("webExId", "http://www.tempuri.org");
var webExIds = doc.Descendants(webExId);
