Hi Guys..

Hoping you can help here.. I'm dabbling with Linq as I'm wanting to pass a Node Value from the XML file into the Connection String.

Currently my Code seems to be working and holding the Value in the System.(Code Below:)(Screenshot attached also)

         XDocument testXML = XDocument.Load("C:\\twDB.xml");
            var DataBases = from DataBase in testXML.Descendants("DataBase")
            select new
            {
              Connection = DataBase.Element("Connection").Value.ToString()
            };

I placed a textbox1 onto my form just to make sure I could pass the value but i'm not able too?

Any help on this would be great.

Regards
Mark.

Have you tried using XPath?
It will allow you to "query" XML.

For example;

XPathNavigator rootNav = testXML.CreateNavigator();
foreach(XPathNavigator databaseNav in rootNav.Select("/DataBase/Connection"))
    Connection.Add(databaseNav.Value);

or if you really want to use LINQ

XPathNavigator rootNav = testXML.CreateNavigator();
var connection = from nodeSelector in rootNav.Select("/DataBase/Connection")
                 select nodeSelector.Value;
