Iterating over string XML to read what is inside the nodes

Question

I have an xml which is string. This is part of it.

    <GetModuleInfoResult xmlns =\"http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/GMS.Integration.Service.Contracts.Results\" xmlns:i=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\">
  <Code>0</Code>
  <Message i:nil=\"true\"/>
  <Parameters xmlns:a=\"http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/GMS.Integration.Service.Contracts.Entities\">
    <a:Parameter>
      <a:Key>width</a:Key>
      <a:Value>1068</a:Value>
    </a:Parameter>
    <a:Parameter>
      <a:Key>height</a:Key>
      <a:Value>600</a:Value>
    </a:Parameter>

I want to get all the parameter nodes and read their 'key' and 'Value' nodes.

How can I achieve that?

Here is one way to grab the key-value pairs from your xml

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(/* YOUR XML FILE **/);
XNamespace x = "http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/GMS.Integration.Service.Contracts.Entities";
var parameters = doc.Descendants(x + "Parameter").ToDictionary(e => e.Descendants(x + "Key").First().Value, e => e.Descendants(x + "Value").First().Value);

Would it load if I gave it a string instead of a file? I want to handle an HttpRequest which comes in a form of a string. – dan mann Jan 26 '18 at 18:19
Use XDocument.Parse() to load string – Cinchoo Jan 26 '18 at 18:48
