I want to read CDATA in <"description">

I wrote this

  var x = e.Result;// e is downlaoded xml file var videos = XElement.Parse(e.Result); var fList = (from haber in videos.Descendants("channel").Elements("item") select new Video { title = haber.Element("title").Value, link = haber.Element("link").Value, //description = ??????? }).ToList(); 

What should I write in the description? // EDIT Answer: Similarly

but if the description is like this?

 <![CDATA[<p>Zombiler adına ne umduk ne bulduk!</p> <p> </p><p><img style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; border: 1px solid #333333; float: right;" alt="Black_ops" src="http://or.com/images/stories/haber/haberler6/20120918_Castlevania/Black_ops.jpg" height="0" width="0" /><strong>Black Ops 2</strong>'de Zombi modu olabilir haberi çıktığından beri bir ses, bir görüntü beklerken <strong>Call of Duty</strong>'nin resmi <strong>Youtube</strong> sayfasında aşağıdaki video yayınlandı.

Answer 1

You should be able to use exactly the same code:

 description = haber.Element("description").Value 

or

 description = (string) haber.Element("description") 

LINQ to XML will take care of reading the text for you.

Answer 2

To read a CDATA block, you simply use the same methods; you want to clear the HTML from it and then check this answer .
