LINQ to XML get value

This is a newbie question, but I can't seem to find the following:

XML is

<sets><set><title>hello1</title><images><image>1667</image></images></set></sets>

    foreach (XElement setNode in collectionXML.DescendantNodes())
    {
        myString = setNode.Descendants("title").First()....
    }

From First (), how do I get the internal value of the header of a node? (in this case it will be "hello1")

Calling ToString () on the element gives "hello1", which is clearly not exactly what I want

myString = setNode.Descendants("title").First().Value;


(however, I am very vague as to what the initial one does DescendantNodes

, I would like to be more specific as to which nodes I choose)

I know this has already been accepted and accepted, but I can't help but point out that you can do more with LINQ.



collectionXML
    .Elements("sets")
    .Elements("set")
    .Select(c => c)
    .Each(x => SetValue(x));

void SetValue(XElement element)
{
    myString = element.GetElementValue("title");
}

// Each extension method (needs to be in a static class)
public static void Each<T>(this IEnumerable<T> items, Action<T> action)
{
    foreach (var item in items) action(item);
}
