How to get data using xelement C#

Question

I have xml as below. How can I get the Id such as 2222 if name = mobile. I have like to retrieve Id value base on name value.

Xml Example

<Type>
  <id>1111</id>
  <name>Laptop</name>
<Type>  
<Type>
  <id>22222</id>
  <name>Mobile</name>
<Type>

I have tried below code but not working.

XElement xel = root
.Elements("Type").Element("id")
.Where(x => (int)x.Element("name") == "Mobile")
.SingleOrDefault();

Answer 1

Try something like this:

string xml = @"
<Types>
  <Type>
    <id>1111</id>
    <name>Laptop</name>
  </Type>
  <Type>
    <id>22222</id>
    <name>Mobile</name>
  </Type>
</Types>
";

XElement root = XElement.Parse(xml);

string name = "Mobile";
string id = root
    .Elements("Type")
    .Where(x => (string)x.Element("name") == name)
    .Select(x => (string)x.Element("id"))
    .SingleOrDefault();

Console.WriteLine(id); // Outputs "22222"

What about this:?

string xml = @"
<Type>
  <id>1111</id>
  <name>Laptop</name>
</Type>
<Type>
  <id>22222</id>
  <name>Mobile</name>
</Type>
";

XElement root = XElement.Parse(xml);

XElement type = root
    .Descendants("Type")
    .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Element("name").Value == "Mobile");

if (type != null)
{
    XElement id = type.Element("id");
    if (id != null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Id: " + id.Value);
    }
}
