Answer 1

Take your pick of any of these already answered versions of your same question.

LINQ to read XML

Reading an XML using libxml2

Reading Xml with XmlReader in C#

Answer 2

If you want to use linq this is a basic example. For instance with this piece of code you will be retrieving all the Structure in StructureList and checking the attributes. It's quite easy, you will get an idea.

var xDoc = XDocument.Load(xmlFile); //Or XDocument.Parse(xmlString)

var structures = xDoc.Descendants("StructuresList").Descendants("Structure")
                     .ToList();

foreach (var structure in structures)
{
    var name = structure.Attribute("name").Value;
    var attack = structure.Attribute("attack").Value;
    //Continue checking attributes
}

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string path =@"file.xml";

            Map mymap = new Map();
            var xml = XDocument.Load(path);
            var map = xml.Descendants("Map").Select(x => new Map()
                {
                    Structures = x.Element("StructuresList").Elements("Structure").Select(r => new StructuresList()
                    {
                        Name = r.Attribute("name").Value,
                        Attack =Convert.ToInt32(r.Attribute("attack").Value),
                        I = Convert.ToInt32(r.Attribute("i").Value),

                    }).ToList()
                }).First();

To print data out

             Console.WriteLine("Strucrures"); 
                foreach (var str in map.Structures)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Name :{0}  , Attack:{1}  , I:{2}  , J:{3}  ,  Range:{4}  ,  Price:{5}"
                        , str.Name, str.Attack, str.I, str.J, str.Range, str.Price);
                }


                Console.WriteLine("Enemys");
                foreach (var enmy in map.Enemys)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("ID :{0}  , Color:{1}  , HP:{2}  , Orobyte:{3}  ,  Speed:{4} "
                        , enmy.ID, enmy.Color, enmy.HP, enmy.Orobyte, enmy.Speed);
                }


                Console.WriteLine("Waves");

                 foreach (var enmy in map.Waves)
                 {
                    Console.WriteLine("Wave ID:{0}", enmy.WaveID);
                    foreach(var gr in enmy.Groups)
                    Console.WriteLine("ID :{0}  , Count:{1} "
                        , gr.ID, gr.Count);
                  }
