Count number of entries?

Question

I have an XML doc:

I have the XML doc here:

   XElement entries =
                    doc.Element("response").Element("entries");

How can I get a count of the number of entry in entries?

This example would be 2.

Answer 1

Instead of Element() use Elements(), which delivers an IEnumerable<>. You can then count the number of entries. Using the Count()-method of IEnumerable<>.

See here for reference on MSDN.

Answer 2

Try this:

entries.Elements("entry").Count();
