Fail getting specific XElement

Question

I have a problem. I need to loop through a xml and get a specific data.

I need to get for each <API-MAPPINGS> all <MAPPED-ARGUMENT-TYPE> and write them into a List. I did like this:

 foreach (var typemapping in maplist.Elements("API- 
 MAPPINGS").Descendants("TYPE-MAP")) 
 {
     foreach (var mappedArguments in maplist.Elements("MAPPED-ARGUMENT-TYPE"))
        {
           newTypeMap.MappedArgumentType.Add(mappedArguments.Value);
        }
 }

But it's not working. Can somebody tell me please what I'm doing wrong?

Change the second `maplist.Elements` to `typemapping.Elements`? — Sebastian Hofmann, Aug 03 '18 at 09:15

It appears this may be a simple issue as pointed out by @SebastianHofmann. Inside your second foreach loop, you need to use the variable from the previous loop. See below for the updated loops:

foreach (var typemapping in maplist.Elements("API-MAPPINGS").Descendants("TYPE-MAP"))
{
    foreach (var mappedArguments in typemapping.Elements("MAPPED-ARGUMENT-TYPE")) //change this line
    {
        newTypeMap.MappedArgumentType.Add(mappedArguments.Value);
    }
}
