Hello!

I think this is what you are looking for.

C#

XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
int count;
xml.LoadXml(str);  

XmlNodeList xnList = xml.SelectNodes("/{ParentNode}/Child[@type='Book']");
count = xnList.count;

you can also refer this http://www.csharp-examples.net/xml-nodes-by-attribute-value/[^]
