Question Linq: Combined Provisions

Question

Grettings!

I have an XML that looks like this:

<Root>
    <SectionA>
        <Item id="111">
            <Options>
                <Option val="a" cat="zzz">
                    <Package value="apple" />
                    <Feature value="avacado" />
                </Option>
                <Option val="b" cat="yyy">
                    <Package value="banana" />
                    <Feature value="blueberry" />
                </Option>
            </Options>
        </Item>
        <Item id="222">
            <Options>
                <Option val="c" cat="xxx">
                    <Package value="carrot" />
                    <Feature value="cucumber" />
                </Option>
                <Option val="d" cat="www">
                    <Package value="dairy" />
                    <Feature value="durom" />
                </Option>
            </Options>
        </Item>
    </SectionA>
    <SectionB>
    .
    .
    .
    </SectionB>
</Root>

I would like to get the PACKAGE and FEATURE values ​​based on the ID attribute for ITEM being "111" and the VAL attribute for OPTION is "a".

I'm not sure where to start. I can select the ITEM node using where, but I'm not sure how to combine it with the where clause on the OPTION node. Any ideas?

Answer 1

This works for me.

var doc = XDocument.Parse(s);

var items = from item in doc.Descendants("Item")
            where item.Attribute("id").Value == "111"
            from option in item.Descendants("Option")
            where option.Attribute("val").Value == "a"
            let package = option.Element("Package").Attribute("value")
            let feature = option.Element("Feature").Attribute("value")
            select new { Package = package.Value, Feature = feature.Value };

items.First().Feature; // = "avacado"
items.First().Package; // = "apple"

You can omit the parts letif you want, they should only make the anonymous type more subtle.

var items = from item in doc.Descendants("Item")
            where item.Attribute("id").Value == "111"
            from option in item.Descendants("Option")
            where option.Attribute("val").Value == "a"
            select new
            {
               Package = option.Element("Package").Attribute("value").Value,
               Feature = option.Element("Feature").Attribute("value").Value
            };

Actually, I kind of like a second.

And Linq style without request.

var items = doc.Descendants("Item")
               .Where(item => item.Attribute("id").Value == "111")
               .SelectMany(item => item.Descendants("Option"))
               .Where(option => option.Attribute("val").Value == "a")
               .Select(option => new
               {
                Package = option.Element("Package").Attribute("value").Value,
                Feature = option.Element("Feature").Attribute("value").Value
               });

Answer 2

SelectMany

var doc = XDocument.Parse(xml);
var items = from i in doc.Descendants("Item")
            from o in i.Descendants("Option")
            where i.Attribute("id").Value == "111"
               && o.Attribute("val").Value == "a"
         select new {
             Package = i.Descendants("Package").Attribute("value").Value,
             Feature = i.Descendants("Feature").Attribute("value").Value                     
         };

Answer 3

:

var items = xdoc
            .Descendants("Option")
            .Where(o => (string)o.Attribute("val") == "a" && (int)o.Ancestors("Item").Single().Attribute("id") == 111)
            .Select(o => new { 
              Package = o.Element("Package"), 
              Feature= o.Element("Feature") 
            });

VB (VB ++ xml-):

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim xml As XElement = <Root>
                                  <SectionA>
                                      <Item id="111">
                                          <Options>
                                              <Option val="a" cat="zzz">
