    <p>I am pulling some data from a website in XML format and it works fine when there are not consecutive nodes, but I am having trouble figuring out how to loop through them when there is. The data that I get looks something like...</p> <pre><code> &lt;whmcsapi&gt; &lt;action&gt;gettickets&lt;/action&gt; &lt;numreturned&gt;1&lt;/numreturned&gt; &lt;tickets&gt; &lt;ticket&gt; &lt;tid&gt;557168&lt;/tid&gt; &lt;name&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Array]]&gt;&lt;/name&gt; &lt;subject&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Test Ticket]]&gt;&lt;/subject&gt; &lt;message&gt;&lt;![CDATA[This is a test ticket&gt; &lt;ticket&gt; &lt;ticket&gt; &lt;tid&gt;557168&lt;/tid&gt; &lt;name&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Array]]&gt;&lt;/name&gt; &lt;subject&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Test Ticket]]&gt;&lt;/subject&gt; &lt;message&gt;&lt;![CDATA[This is a test ticket&gt; &lt;ticket&gt; </code></pre> <p>How can I loop through and read the data from each node? My code right now is the following...</p> <pre><code> public List&lt;Ticket&gt; Get_Tickets() { Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt; args = new Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt;(); args.Add("status", "All Active Tickets"); string data = Get_Data("gettickets", args); XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(data); //var support_tickets = doc.Descendants("ticket").Select(ticket =&gt; new List&lt;Ticket&gt; support_tickets = (from x in doc.Descendants("ticket") select new Ticket { ID = x.Element("id").Value, TicketID = x.Element("tid").Value, DeptID = x.Element("deptid").Value, UserID = x.Element("userid").Value, Name = x.Element("name").Value, Email = x.Element("email").Value, Subject = x.Element("subject").Value, Message = x.Element("message").Value, }).ToList(); return support_tickets; } </code></pre> <p>The Ticket class...</p> <pre><code>public class Ticket { public string ID; public string TicketID; public string DeptID; public string UserID; public string Name; public string Email; public string CC; public string Subject; public string Message; public string Status; public string Priority; public DateTime Date; public DateTime LastResponse; public IPAddress IP; } </code></pre>

    1. COTry `doc.Descendants("ticket")` (note the singular) - that should give you all the ticket sets. Also, there is no element named `id` that I see in the XML you're showing, so that will throw an error.

    2. COThanks, I will give this a try! The XML I pasted was not complete as the original is quite long. I just chopped it down a bit to keep it readable.

    3. COI just realized I cannot return a var from my function. What would be the best way to return the data from this?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
