How to get xml node value by using xelement in c#

Question

I have an XML as shown below where i want to read one node named 1526726702.So this particular node collection snippet ,i have data structure in form of Columns and rows structure.ie columns are represented by <measTypes> tag and rows are represented by <measResults> coming under <measValue>.So i have many cells like 'Local Cell ID=10','Local Cell ID=11','Local Cell ID=12' etc. Now my aim is to read column named 1526726740 and 1526728300 under section <measTypes> to get values as 43.596 and 390824 for first cell 'Local Cell ID=10'.Like this we have many rows for particular column.How can i read and get this values.

code i tried is as below

 using (XmlReader xr = XmlReader.Create(path))
                {
                    xr.MoveToContent();
                    while (xr.Read())
                    {
                        while (xr.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element && xr.LocalName == "measInfo" && xr.GetAttribute("measInfoId") == "1526726702")
                        {
                            try
                            {
                                XElement pin = (XElement)XNode.ReadFrom(xr);
                                string earfcndl = Getvalue(pin, "measTypes");
                               // string t = pin.Element("measTypes").Value;
    
                                var data = from atts in pin.Elements("measInfo")
                                           select new
                                           {
                                               meas = (string)atts.Element("measTypes")
                                           };
                                string measTypes = data.First().meas;
                            }
                            catch (Exception ex)
                            {
    
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

Your code has a default namespace xmlns="measCollec" So use code below which uses a dictionary

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.Data;

namespace ConsoleApplication181
{
    class Program
    {
        const string FILENAME = @"c:\temp\test.xml";
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(FILENAME);
            XElement measCollecFile = doc.Root;
            XNamespace ns = measCollecFile.GetDefaultNamespace();

            Dictionary<string,XElement> measInfoDict = measCollecFile.Descendants(ns + "measInfo")
                .GroupBy(x => (string)x.Attribute("measInfoId"), y => y)
                .ToDictionary(x => x.Key, y => y.FirstOrDefault());

            XElement m726702 = (XElement)measInfoDict["1526726702"];

            int numberColumns = ((string)m726702.Descendants(ns + "measResults").FirstOrDefault()).Trim().Split(new char[] { ' ' }).Length;

            string[] strcolumnNames = { "Building", "Cell", "Function Name", "Local Cell ID", "Cell Name", "eNodeB ID", "Cell FDD TDD indication" };
            DataColumn[] strColumns = strcolumnNames.Select(x => new DataColumn(x, typeof(string))).ToArray();

            DataColumn[] columns = Enumerable.Range(0, numberColumns).Select((x, i) => new DataColumn("Col " + (i + 1).ToString(), typeof(decimal))).ToArray();

            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            dt.Columns.AddRange(strColumns);
            dt.Columns.AddRange(columns);

            foreach (XElement measValue in m726702.Descendants(ns + "measValue"))
            {
                string measObjLdn = (string)measValue.Attribute("measObjLdn");
                int firstSpace = measObjLdn.IndexOf(' ');
                string buildCell = measObjLdn.Substring(0, firstSpace);
                string build = buildCell.Split(new char[] { '/' }).FirstOrDefault();
                string cell = buildCell.Split(new char[] { ':' }).LastOrDefault();
                string parameters = measObjLdn.Substring(firstSpace).Trim();
                string[] parametersValues = parameters.Split(new char[] { ',' }).Select(x => x.Substring(x.IndexOf("=") + 1).Trim()).ToArray();
                parametersValues = (new string[] { build, cell }).Concat(parametersValues).ToArray();
                string values = ((string)measValue.Element(ns + "measResults")).Trim();
                var splitValues = values.Split(new char[] { ' ' }).Select(x => (object)decimal.Parse(x));
                dt.Rows.Add(parametersValues.Concat(splitValues).ToArray());

            }

        }
    }
}
