Search users(string) in XML

[luckyads]

I have generated an XMl which goes like this -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<users>
  <user>
    <name>aditi</name>
    <password>A802CEDA2B04377E3265FC30C3D7CE9F4FADBEA0</password>
    <firstname>aditi</firstname>
    <lastname>aditi</lastname>
    <usertype>1</usertype>
  </user>
  <user>
    <name>aditi</name>
    <password>A802CEDA2B04377E3265FC30C3D7CE9F4FADBEA0</password>
    <firstname>aditi</firstname>
    <lastname>aa</lastname>
    <usertype>1</usertype>
  </user>
  <user>
    <name>aditi</name>
    <password>6C8C90F3860019AB48FDFC3F7541291B333B7B4B</password>
    <firstname>aditi</firstname>
    <lastname>aa</lastname>
    <usertype>1</usertype>
  </user>
</users>

Now, I want to login using this XML, so it should search for the <name> element. How can it be done>

Thanks,
Aditi

What you ask is possible and you could use LINQ to achieve it, by running a LINK query on your XML document. The question is should you do this?

The Web.config file was designed to hold this kind of data and also to protect it, keeping your login data like this could be a security risk for your application.
