I nominate me for village idiot.
Why doesn't this work:
foreach (XElement clientField in _clientXml.Descendants("row").Descendants())
{
var newFieldName =
from sourceField in _sourceEntries.Descendants("Field")
where (string)sourceField.Attribute("n") == (string)clientField.Attribute("n")
select new
{
FieldName = ((string) sourceField.Attribute("n")),
AcordRef = ((string) sourceField.Attribute("m"))
};
foreach (var element in newFieldName)
{
Console.WriteLine("Field Name: {0}",
element.FieldName, element.AcordRef);
}
}
My source XML files are loaded with XElement.Load(myFileName). In debug, clientField has an attribute n="Policy Number". The first element of _sourceEntries.Descendants("Field") also has an attribute n="Policy Number". Indeed, each element in _clientXml.Descendants("row").Descendants() has a matching row in _sourceEntries.Descendants("Field"). And, I know just enough to know that the select is lazy, so in debug I look at the Console.WriteLine block. No matter what I've tried, newFieldName is an empty set.
Just in case, here's the first element of the client file:
<Column_0 n="Policy Number">ABC000123</Column_0>
And, here's the fist element of the _sourceEntries collection:
<Field n="Policy Number" c="1" l="" s="" cd="" m="1805" f="" />
I know it's going to be something simple, but I just don't see what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks.

This accomplished what I ultimately needed to do:
foreach (var clientField in _clientXml.Descendants("row").Descendants())
{
foreach (var acordMapRef in
from sourceEntry in _clientTemplate.Descendants("SourceEntries").Descendants("Field")
where (string) clientField.Attribute("n") == (string) sourceEntry.Attribute("n")
from acordMapRef in _clientTemplate.Descendants("Acord").Descendants("Field")
where (string) sourceEntry.Attribute("m") == (string) acordMapRef.Attribute("id")
select acordMapRef)
{
clientField.Attribute("n").Value = (string) acordMapRef.Attribute("n");
}
}
But, it's surely a candidate for ugliest code of the month. One thing I noticed in fooling around is that elements in an XElement tree don't seem to match to XElements in an IEnumerable collection. You might notice in the original code, above, I had an object _sourceEntries. This was a collection derived from _clientTemplate.Descendants("SourcEntries").Descendants("Field"). I would have thought that the two forms were essentially equivalent for my purposes, but apparently not. I'd appreciate somebody commenting on this issue.
Thanks folks!
Try changing:
where (string)sourceField.Attribute("n") == (string)clientField.Attribute("n")
To:
where sourceField.Attribute("n").Value == clientField.Attribute("n").Value
