XElement iteration won't work

I am trying to go through this XML:

<result>
    <diaryelement>
       <diary_uid>86248040</diary_uid>
       <diary_date>1347274789</diary_date>
       <diary_type>0</diary_type>

       <diaryshortitem>
         <itemid>419</itemid>
         <data>...</data>
          <description>...</description>
       </diaryshortitem>
    </diaryelement>
</result>

and the code I am using for iteration is:

XElement diary = XElement.Parse(e.Result);
IEnumerable<XElement> diaryelements = diary.Descendants("result");

Debug.WriteLine("No error");

                foreach (XElement diaryelement in diaryelements) 
                {
                    Debug.WriteLine(diaryelement.Value);
                    Debug.WriteLine((string)diaryelement.Element("diaryelement").Element("diaryshortitem").Element("description").Element("data").Value);
                }

Debug.WriteLine("Loop ended");

But the method seems to skip the iteration and I don't know why.

IEnumerable<XElement> diaryelements = diary.Descendants("diaryelement");

This change gets all the Descendants of "diaryelement" after this you can parse one by one

Instead of XElement.Parse try to use XDocument.Parse. Also, consider adjusting xml elements path on this line 

Debug.WriteLine((string)diaryelement.Element("diaryelement").Element("diaryshortitem").Element("description").Element("data").Value);

as it is not correct.
