    <p>Using LINQ to XML, XElements and XAttributes I'd like to filter a query using an exact match on an XElement's Attributes() IEnumerable collection of XName/Value pairs, against a provided IEnumerable Attributes collection of XName/Value pairs. </p> <pre><code>&lt;container&gt; &lt;!-- logical group of settings --&gt; &lt;group name="group-one"&gt; &lt;!-- setting with multiple key-value key options to return value --&gt; &lt;setting&gt; &lt;key app="a" command="go" /&gt; &lt;key app="a" type="z" command="go" /&gt; &lt;key app="a" type="z" flag="1" command="go" /&gt; &lt;key app="a" type="z" target="OU812"/&gt; &lt;value&gt;group-one item value A&lt;/value&gt; &lt;/setting&gt; &lt;setting&gt; &lt;key app="a" /&gt; &lt;key app="a" type="z" /&gt; &lt;key app="a" type="z" flag="1" /&gt; &lt;key app="c" type="z" command="go" /&gt; &lt;value&gt;group-one item value B&lt;/value&gt; &lt;/setting&gt; ... ... &lt;/group&gt; &lt;group name="group-two"&gt; ... ... &lt;/group&gt; &lt;/container&gt; </code></pre> <p>I suspect using Attributes().SequenceEqual() with a custom IEqualityComparer to compare both XAttribute.XName and XAttribute.Value is the way to go, but the sequence never matches because XElement("key").Attributes() returns a collection of all attributes for all elements in a given element. I have tried any number linq queries similar to following code snippet, including nested queries and using the "let" statement, but I can't seem to get it right. </p> <pre><code>var myAttributes = new List&lt;XAttribute&gt; { new XAttribute("app", "a"), new XAttribute("type", "z") }; var xGroup = doc.Elements("group").First(g=&gt;g.Attribute("name").Value==groupName); var xSetting = (from s in xGroup.Elements("setting") // AttributesComparer() compares both the XAttribute.XName and XAttribute.Value properties to determine equality where s.Elements("key").Attributes().SequenceEqual(myAttributes, new AttributesComparer()) select s).FirstOrDefault(); var xValue = xSetting.Element("value"); </code></pre> <p>It should return an XElement representing <code>&lt;value&gt;group-one item value B&lt;/value&gt;</code></p> <p>For now, I have settled on using XPathSelectElement() -- passing an XPath string built from the name/values in the provided XAttributes() collection. In this case, the generated string would be:</p> <pre><code>group[@name='group-one']/setting[key[@app='n' and @type='z' and count(@*)=2]]/value </code></pre> <p>But, I'm generally resistant to looping through collections to build strings in an application. I have been hammering away at this for a while now, and unfortunately, I am stumped as to how to impliment a more "elegant" solution using a compact linq query (or series of queries) with existing methods.</p> <p>Any feedback and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</p>

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.
