Calling the Only Nodes Prototype

 
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        XDocument xDocument = new XDocument(
         new XElement("Books",
           new XElement("Book",
            new XAttribute("type", "Author"),
           new XComment("This is a new author."),
            new XElement("FirstName", "A"),
           new XElement("LastName", "B")),
           new XElement("Book",
            new XAttribute("type", "Author"),
           new XElement("FirstName", "C"),
           new XElement("LastName", "D"))));
        IEnumerable<XElement> elements = xDocument.Element("Books").Elements("Book");
        foreach (XElement element in elements) {
            Console.WriteLine("Source element: {0} : value = {1}", element.Name, element.Value);
        }
        foreach (XNode node in elements.Nodes()) {
            Console.WriteLine("Child node: {0}", node);
        }
    }
}

Traversing Backward from an XElement Object via the PreviousNode Property

 
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        XElement firstParticipant;
        XDocument xDocument = new XDocument(new XDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", "yes"),
         new XDocumentType("Books", null, "Books.dtd", null),
         new XProcessingInstruction("Book", "out-of-print"),
         new XElement("Books", firstParticipant =
          new XElement("Book",
         new XAttribute("type", "Author"),
         new XElement("FirstName", "J"),
         new XElement("LastName", "R")),
         new XElement("Book",
         new XAttribute("type", "Author"),
         new XElement("FirstName", "E"),
         new XElement("LastName", "B"))));
        Console.WriteLine(firstParticipant.NextNode.PreviousNode);
    }
}
