Procedura: scrivere un metodo dell'asse LINQ to XML

È possibile scrivere metodi dell'asse personalizzati per recuperare raccolte da una struttura ad albero XML.Uno dei modi migliori per eseguire questa operazione consiste nello scrivere un metodo di estensione che restituisce una raccolta di elementi o attributi.È possibile scrivere il metodo di estensione per restituire subset specifici di elementi o attributi, in base ai requisiti dell'applicazione.

Esempio

Nell'esempio seguente vengono utilizzati due metodi di estensione:Il primo metodo di estensione, GetXPath, opera su XObject e restituisce un'espressione XPath che, quando viene valutata, restituisce il nodo o l'attributo.Il secondo metodo di estensione, Find, opera su XElement.Restituisce una raccolta di oggetti XAttribute e oggetti XElement che contengono un testo specificato.

Nell'esempio viene utilizzato il seguente documento XML: File XML di esempio: Multiple Purchase Orders (LINQ to XML).
