LINQ to XML: How to select the next element

Question

I have a plist file from an iPhone app. It looks like this below:

  
    barcodes
    

        

Answer 1

EDIT

I believe this will get you the element after the jobSteps node:

XElement elementAfterJobsteps = xml.Descendants("plist").FirstOrDefault().Descendants("jobSteps").FirstOrDefault().ElementsAfterSelf().FirstOrDefault();

END EDIT

foreach (XElement El in xml.Descendants("plist")) {
        var localResults = 
            from elements in El.Descendants("dict")
            where elements.Value == "jobSteps"
            select elements;

       //process localResults 
 }

Or, even simpler, try method syntax

 foreach (XElement El in xml.Descendants("plist")) {
    var localResults = El.Descendants("dict").Where(dict => dict.Value == "jobSteps");

    //process localResults 
 }
