linq: how to check if the value of one attribute exists

Question

if statement to check the value of an attribute doesn't work.

if (element.Elements(ns + "list").Where(x => x.Attribute("name").Value == "myProject") != null)

Is there other way to check if the value of an attribute exists?

Answer 1

you can use firstordefault

var element = element.Elements(ns + "list").Where(x => x.Attribute == "myProject");

// return if null 


if(element == null) return;



// do your stuff
