I want to get all the Textbox names and values. This is what I tried and it does not work:
XDocument data = XDocument.Load("..\\..\\testxml.rdl");
var elements = from c in data.Elements("ReportItems")
select c;
foreach (var element in elements)
{
Console.WriteLine("Element : " + element.Attribute("Name").Value);
}
Console.ReadKey();
but when I change the query to something like this
var elements = from c in data.Elements().Elements().ElementAt(0).Elements().ElementAt(0).Elements()
select c;
it works.
Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Edit: With the help of answers I was able to get the desired results. Thank you so much :)
XDocument data = XDocument.Load("..\\..\\testxml.rdl");
XNamespace ns = data.Root.Name.Namespace;
var elements = from c in data.Descendants(ns + "Textbox")
select c;
foreach (var element in elements)
{
Console.WriteLine("Element : " + element.Attribute("Name").Value);
}
Console.ReadKey();
TIA.

You need to take the namespace into account:
XNamespace df = data.Root.Name.Namespace;
Then use df + "foo" to select elements with local name foo in the namespace defined on the root element.
And as already mentioned you probably want to select descendants, not child elements:
var elements = from c in data.Descendants(df + "Textbox")
select c;
You are looking for Descendants() not Elements() in this case. Elements() only selects immediate children.
Documentation
Note: Based on your sample code, using Descendants() will still throw an exception because not all of the ReportItems elements have a Name attribute. You need to do something like Console.WriteLine("Element : " + (element.Attributes("Name").Any() ? element.Attribute("Name").Value : "(no name)") );
