Can you please post us the sample XML content.. So that it'll help us to know the schema better(else post the schema itself)..

	XElement rawXML = XElement.Load(@"\SampleData.xml");
	var aa = rawXML.Descendants("Chap");
	foreach (var item in aa)
	{
		//item.Value to get the value of the Node(With this create the XML File)
		//item.NextNode to get the Pair XML Content(Write this into that XML File)
	}

I've assumed the schema would be like,

<Data>
  <Chap>1</Chap>
  <Pair>
    <Title>A</Title>
    <Description>Apple</Description>
  </Pair>
  <Chap>2</Chap>
  <Pair>
    <Title>A1</Title>
    <Description>Apple1</Description>
  </Pair>
  <Chap>3</Chap>
  <Pair>
    <Title>A2</Title>
    <Description>Apple2</Description>
  </Pair>
  <Chap>4</Chap>
  <Pair>
    <Title>A3</Title>
    <Description>Apple3</Description>
  </Pair>
</Data>

Answer 3

the xml schema is:

<concentration>
 <entry>
  <chapter>0</chapter>
  <pair>
    <term>Word1</term>
    <definition>Definition1</definition>
  </pair>
 </entry>
 <entry>
  <chapter>1</chapter>
  <pair>
    <term>Word2</term>
    <definition>Definition2</definition>
  </pair>
 </entry>
</concentration>

 

I used: 

 

XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader ("c:\\users/name/projects/csharp/concentrationgenerator/concentration001.xml");

 

to read the xml doc into c#. now what i need to do is basically

 

while <chapter> = 1 write everything within <pair> to chapter01.xml

while <chapter> = 2 write everything within <pair> to chapter02.xml

 

thanks in advance.

> what i need to do is read the doc, and every pair that has <chapter>1, write it to ch01.xml

using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
...
var xe = XElement.Load(@"c:\temp\concentration.xml");
foreach(var c in xe.Descendants("chapter"))
{
    var path = @"c:\temp\chapter" + c.Value.PadLeft(2, '0') + ".xml";
    using(var xw = new XmlTextWriter(path, Encoding.Default))
        c.NextNode.WriteTo(xw);
}
