</item>
<item>
<title>abc</title>

<pubDate>2</pubDate>
<description>abc</description>
</item>
</category>
</publisher>
I need to write a LINQ to XML query in C# which returns everything under a "category" tag based on the value of attribute provided. I have tried the following code but it gives me error. Any help will be appreciated:
System.Xml.Linq.XElement xml = System.Xml.Linq.XElement.Parse(e.Result);
IEnumerable<string> items = from category in xml.Elements("category")
where category.Attribute("title").Value == "Top"
select category.ToString();
IEnumerable<string> items = from category in xml.Descendants("category")
where category.Attribute("title").Value == "Top"
select category.ToString();
Of course, that's going to give you a list with one string in it. If you want just the string in it:
var items = (from category in xml.Descendants("category")
where category.Attribute("title").Value == "Top"
select category.ToString()).First();
But, if you want to continue processing the XML, you probably really want it as a XElement object:
var items = (from category in xml.Descendants("category")
where category.Attribute("title").Value == "Top"
select category).First();
