Question

I have an xml file which has kind of similar structure that you can see below: I would like to select title and subitems using linq to xml. The difficulties that I have sometimes subitem can be just one and sometimes it can be 20 subitems. and I need to add them to List

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<items>
<item>

 <title>Name of the title</title>
 <subitem>Test</subitem>
 <subitem1>Test</subitem1>
 <subitem2>Test</subitem2>
 <subitem3>Test</subitem3>
 <subitem4>Test</subitem4>
 <subitem5>Test</subitem5>

</item>

<item>

 <title>Name of the title</title>
 <subitem>Test</subitem>
 <subitem1>Test</subitem1>
 <subitem2>Test</subitem2>
 <subitem3>Test</subitem3>
</item>

<item> 
 <title>Name of the title</title>
 <subitem>Test</subitem>
 <subitem1>Test</subitem1>
</item>
</items>

Answer 1

Edit: Oh, you want titles too, here.

XDocument yourXDocument = XDocument.Load(yourXmlFilePath);
IEnumerable<Tuple<XElement, IEnumerable<XElement>>> yourSubItems =
    yourXDocument.Root.Descendants()
                 .Where(xelem => xelem.Name == "title")
                 .Select(xelem => new Tuple<XElement, IEnumerable<XElement>>(xelem, xelem.Parent.Elements().Where(subelem => subelem.Name.LocalName.StartsWith("subitem")));
