How to select a specific node with LINQ-to-XML

Question

I can select the first customer node and change its company name with the code below.

But how do I select customer node where ID=2?

Answer 1

Assuming the ID is unique:

var result = xmldoc.Element("Customers")
                   .Elements("Customer")
                   .Single(x => (int?)x.Attribute("ID") == 2);

You could also use First, FirstOrDefault, SingleOrDefault or Where, instead of Single for different circumstances.
