Linq to XML selecting a node bases on a attribute value

Question

I have an xml file that returns a set of elements that are unique by a attribute value. This presents a problem, as I can not select a node by its name:

<         


        

Answer 1

Use XElement like this:

from rt in results.descendants("")
where rt.attribute(attribute name).value == "specified value"
select rt
