Get Last Element in C# using XElement

Question

I have a XML feed loaded in an XElement.

The structure is

<root>
<post></post>
<post></post>
<post></post>
<post></post>
.
.
.
.
<post></post>
</root>

I want to directly get the value of the Last post. How I do that using XElement in C#.

Thanks.

Solution 1

Or try this to get XElement:

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("yourfile.xml");          
XElement root = doc.Root;
Console.WriteLine(root.Elements("post").Last());

Solution 2

You can use LastNode property on root element:

XElement root = doc.Root;
XElement lastPost = (XElement)root.LastNode;

Solution 3

var doc = XDocument.Parse(xml);
var lastPost = doc.Descendants("post").Last();
