Hi,

How would I edit the code below to read XML CData text?

Thanks,
Viepia

XDocument connectedPCsXML = XDocument.Load(new
StreamReader(Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\myCompany\configDir",
"path",@"C:\ConfigDir\") + "ConnectedPCs.xml"));
var PCs = from PC in connectedPCsXML.Descendants("ConnectedPC")
select new
{
Name = PC.Element("Name").Value,
IP = PC.Element("IP").Value,
Description = PC.Element("Description").Value,
DnsName = PC.Element("DnsName").Value
};

For your query with e.g. PC.Element("Description").Value it should not
make a difference whether the XML looks like e.g.
<Description>foo &amp; bar</Description>
or
<Description><![CDATA[foo & bar]]></Description>
the Value of the 'Description' remains the same.

If that does not help then show us the relevant XML.
