FirstNode and LastNode give you direct access to the first or last child node.
Nodes returns all children as a sequence.
All three functions consider only direct descend- ants. For example:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Xml.Linq;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var address = new XElement("address",new XElement("street", "Main St"), new XElement("town", "New York"));
var customer1 = new XElement("customer1", address);
var customer2 = new XElement("customer2", address);
foreach (XNode node in address.Nodes())
Console.WriteLine(node.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting) + ".");
}
}
The output:
Main St.
New York.
