The following example retrieves all of the child nodes for every node in a collection of elements with the name of Child.
XElement xmlTree = XElement.Parse(
@"<Root><Child>aaa<GrandChild>Text</GrandChild>bbb</Child>" +
@"<Child>ccc<GrandChild>Text</GrandChild>ddd</Child></Root>");
IEnumerable<XNode> nodes = xmlTree.Elements("Child").Nodes();
foreach (XNode node in nodes)
{
switch (node.NodeType)
{
case XmlNodeType.Element:
Console.WriteLine("Element: {0}", ((XElement)node).Name);
break;
case XmlNodeType.Text:
Console.WriteLine("Text: {0}", ((XText)node).Value);
break;
