How can i get the inner value of a node in xml

Question

I have an XML like:

<Address> YYYY </Addeess>
<Country> ZZZZ </Country>
</Employee>

How can i get the inner value of Country? Here Country is dynamically generated(based on user input).

It may be present or not. If present i need to fetch the inner value using c#.

Answer 1

This may help you :

XmlDocument ob = new XmlDocument();
ob.Load("yourxmlfile.xml");
XmlNodeList obj_country = ob.GetElementsByTagName("Country");
  if(obj_country!= null)
     {
        string innertext_country_node = obj_country[0].InnerText;
     }

Answer 2

 var countryElement = XElement.Parse(xml).Element("Country");
 string result = (countryElement != null) ? countryElement.Value : string.Empty;
