i unable load xdocument.load xml feed.

it's not clear exactly want, suspect it's this:

xdocument doc = ...; // want load this. // note: xml case-sensitive, 1 reason code failed before list<string> books = doc     .descendants("intel")     // not necessary, makes simpler     .select(x => new {                title = (string) x.element("title"),                author = x.element("intel_auth")             })     .select(x => new {                title = x.title,                firstname = (string) x.author.element("fname"),                middleinitial = (string) x.author.element("mname"),                lastname = (string) x.author.element("lname"),             });     .select(x => string.format("{0}: {1} {2} {3}",                                x.title,                                x.firstname, x.middleinitial, x.lastname))     .tolist(); 

this give list<string> each element "test 1: john m. pp".
