Create A Messages.cs Class

C#

public class Message
{
    [Required]
    public string Name { get; set; }
    [Required]
    public string Description { get; set; }
}

C#

XmlNodeList xmlDescriptionNodes = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("message");

if (xmlDescriptionNodes != null)
{
    foreach (XmlNode xmlNode in xmlDescriptionNodes)
    {
        // Get The Innertext of The Message Xelement 
        string Description = Convert.ToString(xmlNode.InnerText);
        bool IsContain = Description.Contains(name); // Check Wether the input string Name is there in innertext or not 
        if (IsContain == true) // if Contains It returns true 
        {
            Message message = new Message();
            message.Name = Convert.ToString(xmlNode.Attributes["name"].Value);
            message.Description = Convert.ToString(xmlNode.InnerText);
            lmessage.Add(message); // Add All The Messages to the List for Display purpose 
        }
    }
}
