Solution 1

Best way would be using linQ, something like

C#

var count = XDocument
    .Load("test.xml")
    .XPathSelectElements("//Element")
    .Count();

and to look for particular child see below.

C#

IEnumerable<XElement> elements =
    from el in root.Elements("Element")
    where (string)el.Element("Article") <> ""
    select el;
