How can I serialize List <T> to XML using LINQ to XML?
I have this general list
List<zil> listKD = new List<zil>
{
new zil{day="Mon",c="1",S1="08:00",S2="08:40",S3="08:47"},
new zil{day="Mon",c="2",S1="08:50",S2="09:30",S3="09:37"},
new zil{day="Mon",c="3",S1="09:40",S2="10:20",S3="10:27"},
new zil{day="Mon",c="4",S1="10:30",S2="11:10",S3="11:17"},
new zil{day="Tue",c="1",S1="08:00",S2="08:40",S3="08:47"},
new zil{day="Tue",c="2",S1="08:50",S2="09:30",S3="09:37"},
new zil{day="Wed",c="1",S1="08:00",S2="08:40",S3="08:47"},
new zil{day="Wed",c="2",S1="08:50",S2="09:30",S3="09:37"},
new zil{day="Thu",c="1",S1="08:00",S2="08:40",S3="08:47"},
new zil{day="Thu",c="2",S1="08:50",S2="09:30",S3="09:37"},
new zil{day="Thu",c="3",S1="09:40",S2="10:20",S3="10:27"},
new zil{day="Fri",c="1",S1="08:00",S2="08:40",S3="08:47"},
new zil{day="Fri",c="2",S1="08:50",S2="09:30",S3="09:37"},
new zil{day="Fri",c="3",S1="09:40",S2="10:20",S3="10:27"},
new zil{day="Fri",c="4",S1="10:30",S2="11:10",S3="11:17"},
};
and i want to save this xml list but i dont like this xml file

XElement zXml = new XElement("Days",
from g in listKD
select new XElement("Day",
new XAttribute("id", g.Day),
new XElement("clock",
new XAttribute("id", g.c),
new XElement("s1", g.s1),
new XElement("s2", g.s2),
new XElement("s3", g.s3)
)));

I think you were not grouped during the day; maybe something like:
var el = new XElement("Days",
from z in listKD
group z by z.day into tmp
select new XElement("Day",
new XAttribute("id", tmp.Key),
from item in tmp
select new XElement("clock",
new XAttribute("id", item.c),
new XElement("s1", item.S1),
new XElement("s2", item.S2),
new XElement("s3", item.S3))
));
string s = el.ToString(); // or save etc
Refresh comment; flip it over, something like:
XElement parsed = XElement.Parse(s);
var newList = (from day in parsed.Elements("Day")
from clock in day.Elements("clock")
select new zil
{
day = (string)day.Attribute("id"),
c = (string)clock.Attribute("id"),
S1 = (string)clock.Element("S1"),
S2 = (string)clock.Element("S2"),
S3 = (string)clock.Element("S3")
}).ToList();
To filter to a specific day:
from day in parsed.Elements("Day")
where (string)day.Attribute("id") == "Mon"
from clock in day.Elements("clock")
