Your code is returning only one node because you are filtering "Login" elements by their "UserName" child element's value. You only get the "UserName" element whose value is equal to txtuname.Text.

For examplpe, if you remove the where clause, you will get "UserName" child elements for all your "Login" elements.

What exactly is your intent?

If you want multiple "UserName"s, can you verify that there are more than one branch with the username you are searching for? It looks like it is looking to match exactly one login value...

If you want to select multiple values for each result, you need to create new output results... try something like:

var q = (
from c in xDoc.Descendants("Login")
where c.Element("UserName").Value == txtuname.Text.ToString()
select new { (string)c.Element("UserName"), (string)c.Element("OtherValue")) };
