read from xml into a variable (Windows Phone 7)

I am trying to load an attribute from a simple xml file. The xml contents look like:

<top>
    <levels>
        <number>4</number>
    </levels>
</top>

And I want to get that "4" into a variable and I can't figure it out how to do it correctly.

I tried something like that:

XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load("levelsXml.xml");
var levels = from query in xdoc.Descendants("levels")
select nrOfLevelsCompleted = Convert.ToInt32(query.Element("number"));

If your xml file always has a single <levels /> element, you can try

int levels = Convert.ToInt32(xdoc.Descendants("levels")
                                 .Single().Element("number").Value);
