How to parse a xml and read its values

i am using C# windows phone 8 and I have the following XML 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
 <login res="SUCCESS"  encstatus="DEFAULT" usedquota="0"  />

I need to extract the values of res, encstatus and usedQuota.

How do I do that in xml parsing?

I tried this 

 XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Parse(str);
            var pol = xDoc.Element("res");
            var items = xDoc.Descendants("res");

Where str is the xml file, but all the elements are empty / null.

Those nodes are attributes:

 XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Parse(str)
 XElement login = xDoc.Root;
 string res = (string)login.Attribute("res");
 string encstatus = (string)login.Attribute("encstatus");
 int usedquota = (int)login.Attribute("usedquota");

You're trying to get the attribute values, no element:

XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Parse(str);

var pol = (string)xDoc.Root.Attribute("res");
