LINQ to XML : A query body must end with a select clause or a group clause

Question

Can someone guide me on to repairing the error on this query :

       var objApps = from item in xDoc.Descendants(\"VHost\") 
                          where         


        

Answer 1

The compiler is complaining about this part

from x in item.Descendants("Application")

inside your Where clause. You should change it so that

• there is a select clause at the end, and
• it makes up an expression that evaluates to true for item objects that you would like to keep.

Here is my best guess at what you are trying to do (EDIT : attempt number two)

var objApps = from item in xDoc.Descendants("VHost").Descendants("Application") 
              select new clsApplication {
                  ConnectionsTotal = item.Element("ConnectionsTotal").Value
              };
