    I have got an xml document which looks something like this.

    <Root>

    
    
<Info>
....
</Info>

    
    
<Info>
....
</Info>

    
    
<response>
....
</response>

    
    
<warning>
....
</warning>

    
    
<Info>
....
</Info>

    
    
</Root>

    How can i write a linqToXML query so that it returns me an IEnumerable containing each child element, in this case all five child elements of , so that i could iterate over them.

    The order of child elements is not definite, neither is number of times the may appear.

    Thanks in advance

    This should do it:
            ' Be sure to set a reference to System.Core and System.Xml.Linq
        Dim root As XElement = XElement.Load("testXML.xml")

        Dim childElements = root.Descendants

    Hope this helps.
