Solution 3

Try to write smth like that:

C#

MergeRule = (from e in doc.Descendants("MergeRule")
             let tmp=e
                           select new ConvertedFilesMergeRule()
{
                         MergingChannelIds= (from item e.Descendants("MergingChannelIds") select item.Value).ToList();
                           }).ToList<ConvertedFilesMergeRule>

Thank You thank you very much! :-)
MergeRule = (from e in doc.Descendants("MergeRule")
let tmp=e
select new ConvertedFilesMergeRule()
{MergingChannelIds= (from item in
e.Descendants("MergingChannelIds") select item.Value).ToList()
}).First<convertedfilesmergerule>()

You are welcome,Sorry but obviously, i have misspelled smth in that LINQ, just remove line -> let tmp=e, this is redundancy line of code =)
