In your code test represents just the root element of the document, so you can't use LINQ on it – it's not an sequence.

What you should do depends on how your XSD looks like. For example, if there can be multiple Identification elements under the root InstrumentDescription element, then just accessing test.Identitication gives you the list.

You're handling InstrumentDescription instead of an XDocument so it's probably that you need to make sure you InstrumentDescription class is IQueryable.

If you're actually wanting to do Linq against your XML, you either need to load it in as a dataset, or use Linq2XML (using System.Xml.Linq).
