How can I retrieve the text from a specific element of this XML?

Question

I am trying to figure out Xmldocument for the first time. I cannot figure out how to pull a single element out of an xml file. I need to find a certain url in the xml document and determine if the user has access to that url and delete the xml related to that article if the user does not.

What I need to know if how to pull the inner text from <url></url> in the following xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<searchdoc><results hits="3226" time="0.33" query="test" suggest="test1" filter=""        sort="relevance" sortdir="desc" start="1" end="10" currentpage="1" lastpage="323" startdate="0" enddate="0" xsl="Trane.xsl">
<result no="1"><url>c:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-3289705215-1832128825-2807327032-470872\Dc115

Sorry about the messy XML I am pulling directly from a the string where it is stored. I left off the rest of the xml as it is VERY long. How will I access the information I want?

Answer 1

using LINQ's XDocument:

from off the top of my head, syntax may be a little off

XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(yourString);

string url = (from x in doc.Descendants("url") select x.Value).FirstOrDefault();
