Select elements by attribute name

Hi I have an XML file that looks similar to this:

<doc>
  <item type="1">HelloWorld</item>
  <item type="2">LINQ</item>
  <item type="3">C#</item>
</doc>

I have an Item class with 3 string variables a,b & c and currently this is what I'm doing:

var Results = from docs in result.Descendants("doc")
              select new Item
              {
                 a = (from docs2 in docs.Descendants("item") 
                      where docs2.Attribute("type").Value == "1"
                      select docs2.Value).First(),
                 b = (from docs2 in docs.Descendants("item")
                      where docs2.Attribute("type").Value == "2"                      
                      select docs2.Value).First(),
                 c = (from docs2 in docs.Descendants("item")
                      where docs2.Attribute("type").Value == "3"
                      select docs2.Value).First()
              };

I'm unable to change the format of the XML file.
Is there a better way of doing this?
