LINQ to XML Question

stoogots2

I have the following XML structure from which I want to select/remove the "second" Element which has the Attribute "Name" whose value = "Test"

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<Application>

<first>

<second Name="Test">

</second>

<second Name="Whatever">

</second>

</first>

</Application>
 
var x = from c in xd.Element("Application").Element("first").Descendants()

           where c.Element("Application").Element("first").Element("second").Attribute("Name").Value=="Test"

select c;

Anyway what I have above does not work, and I've tried a lot of different things to no avail. There is something important that I seem to be missing about LINQ to XML. I read that I should be able to use Descendants() anywhere (without having to specify the hierarchy in element.element type syntax), but I haven't gotten that to work with a where clause or condition.

Resolved. Not sure why this didn't work the first time...

Here is the code to find the matching elements / remove them / and save the xml file.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
XDocument xd = XDocument.Load(sXmlFile);

                var x = from c in xd.Descendants("second")

                        where c.Attribute("Name").Value == "Test"

                        select c;
 
// To remove all matching elements

x.Remove();
 
// To Save after finished

xd.Save(sXmlFile);
