amazon mws orders help simplify, flatten xml

Question

I need to simplify this xml ( to a list ), and associate the pricing with the items (multiple items)

here is my start, but the commented section does not work

            XDocument doc = XDocument.Load( filename );

            var ele = doc.Elements("AmazonEnvelope")
                            //.Elements("Header")
                            .Elements("Message")
                            .Elements("OrderReport")
                            .Elements("Item")

                              .Select(element => new
                              {
                                  AmazonOrderItemCode = (string)element.Element("AmazonOrderItemCode"),
                                  SKU = (string)element.Element("SKU"),
                                  Title = (string)element.Element("Title"),
                                  Quantity = (string)element.Element("Quantity"),

                              })

                             //.Elements("ItemPrice")
                             //.Elements("Component")

                              //.Select(element => new
                              //{
                             //     Type = (string)element.Element("Type"),
                             //     Amount = (string)element.Element("Amount"),
                             // })


                           .ToList();


            foreach (var x in ele)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(x.ToString());
            }

this: { AmazonOrderItemCode = 58317736573050, SKU = 6020B, Title = Top Coat, Quantity = 1 }

to this: { AmazonOrderItemCode = 58317736573050, SKU = 6020B, Title = Top Coat, Quantity = 1, Type = Principal, Amount = 8.00 }

and eventually, since there are multiple types, somthing like this:

{ AmazonOrderItemCode = 58317736573050, SKU = 6020B, Title = Top Coat, Quantity = 1, Amount_Principal = 8.00 }

Answer 1

Perhaps use two levels of anonymous select -- first get the Elements you need to use later, then grab the info out of each one to the real value you want to end up with.

var ele = doc.Elements("AmazonEnvelope")    
             .Elements("Message")   
             .Elements("OrderReport") 
             .Elements( "Item" )
             .Select( s => new
              {
                   AmazonOrderItemCode =
                        (string)s.Element( "AmazonOrderItemCode" ),
                   SKU = (string)s.Element( "SKU" ),
                   Title = (string)s.Element( "Title" ),
                   Quantity = (string)s.Element( "Quantity" ),
                   Type = (string)s.Element("ItemPrice")
                                   .Element("Component")
                                   .Element( "Type" ),
                   Amount = (string)s.Element( "ItemPrice" )
                                     .Element( "Component" )
                                     .Element( "Amount" )
              } )
             .ToList();
