In the following dummy XML file, I have to find search string in the stepContent node and return the ElementID and stepID. I am using Linq in C#, while I am able to find the search string and return the entire node, I am unable to figure out how to return the stepID and ElementID of searched node. Please note this is dummy XML and depths of these ID nodes may vary, so I need something to query them on names in the returned values.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Root> <Elements> <Element> <ElementID>A001</ElementID> <Detail><![CDATA[<ul> <li> For top candidates </li> <li> Discount upto 50% </li> </ul>]]></Detail> <Steps> <Step> <stepID>S001</stepID> <StepHeading>Prepare for top candidates</StepHeading> <stepContent><![CDATA[<ul> <li>Some dummy text</li> <li>Plan some dummy items.</li> </ul>]]></stepContent> </Step> <Step> <stepID>S002</stepID> <StepHeading>Invite top candidates</StepHeading> <stepContent><![CDATA[<ul> <li>Dummy text for invitation.</li> <li>Dummy text for 2nd invitation.</li> </ul>]]></stepContent> </Step> </Steps> </Element> <Element> <ElementID>A002</ElementID> <Detail><![CDATA[<ul> <li> For next set of top candidates </li> <li> Discount upto 30% </li> </ul>]]></Detail> <Steps> <Step> <stepID>S003</stepID> <StepHeading>Prepare for next set of top candidates</StepHeading> <stepContent><![CDATA[<ul> <li>Some dummy text</li> <li>Plan some dummy items.</li> </ul>]]></stepContent> </Step> <Step> <stepID>S004</stepID> <StepHeading>Invite next set of top candidates</StepHeading> <stepContent><![CDATA[<ul> <li>Dummy text for invitation.</li> <li>Dummy text for 2nd invitation.</li> </ul>]]></stepContent> </Step> </Steps> </Element> </Elements> </Root>
