Reading special field from variable XML File c#

Question

I have got a file called xmlfile.xml:

<Personen>
<Person>
<Vorname>Manfred</Vorname>
<Telefon/>
<Zuname>Fischer</Zuname>
<Alter>45</Alter>
<Adresse Ort="Bonn" Strasse="Neuestr.34"></Adresse>
</Person>
</Personen>

There are two problems. First of all are the fields of '' variable. So maybe the xmlfile contains 3 persons or another value (of course it contains at least one). Now I need to print out the 'Vorname' of each Person, how can I do so? I tried this code (just a short view):

        reader.ReadToFollowing("Person");
        string isbn = reader.GetAttribute("Alter");
        Console.WriteLine("age: " + isbn);
        Console.ReadLine();

But it doesn't print out the age (Alter), how to get it working to print out the age of each person, in case there are more then one.

You're using older framework bits. Look into linq to xml for a more fluent interface. Also, `alter` is NOT an attribute, it's a child node. `` — , Oct 05 '14 at 16:18

Just do a quick search and you'll find plenty of resource to read XML via fabulous Linq:

LINQ to read XML

For example to extract persons:

XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(yourFileName));
var persons = from lv1 in xdoc.Descendants("Person")
              select lv1.Value;
