  <property type="status">FREE1</property>
  <property type="uid">1501</property>
  <property type="storage">USB1</property>
</properties>

Is there an error? Do you get different results as expected? — Andrei V, Jan 10 '14 at 07:28

I think he wants something like `//property[@type="..."]/text()` but I can't express than in LINQ :-) — Thomas Weller, Jan 10 '14 at 14:12

First, you missed a ')'. Next, you try to load an xml doc in an XElement ?

You can try it :

List<string> list = new List<string>();
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(filedialog.FileName);

foreach (XElement elem in doc.Descendants("property"))
{
list.add(elem.Attribute("type").Value);
}
gridControl.DataSource = list;

XElement has a [`Load`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb298435(v=vs.110).aspx) method to load from a file. There isn't anything wrong about that. – Harrison Jan 10 '14 at 15:02
yes this code is fine I cant explain my problem. acctuly I want get element like groups. that value which elements in data groups – teknodram Jan 10 '14 at 15:54
I don't really understand... You want a list of group of XElement ? Or you want to group each element by their attributes ? (example `Dictionnary> dico = new Dictionnary(); foreach (XElement elem in doc.Descendants("property")) { if (dico[elem.attribute("type").value] == null) dico[elem.attribute("type").value] = new List(); dico[elem.attribute("type").value].add(elem.value);` } – carndacier Jan 11 '14 at 00:04

element is loaded and contains the <node> XElement. The only descendent of <node> is <properties>. I think you want this instead:

var items = (from el in element.Element("properties").Descendants("property")
    select new
    {
        values = el.Attribute("type").Value
    }).ToList();

xelement get same children nodes
