C# , xml parsing. get data between tags

Question

I have a string :

responsestring = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<upload><image><name></name><hash>SOmetext</hash>"

How can i get the value between

<hash> and </hash>

?

My attempts :

responseString.Substring(responseString.LastIndexOf("<hash>") + 6, 8); // this sort of works , but won't work in every situation.

also tried messing around with xmlreader , but couldn't find the solution.

Answer 1

Try

XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(str);
var a = from hash in doc.Descendants("hash")
        select hash.Value;

you will need System.Core and System.Xml.Linq assembly references
