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 (XElement e in address.Elements())
Console.WriteLine(e.Name + "=" + e.Value);
}
}
The output:
street=Main St
town=New York
