Solution 1

Try this

C#

XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load("path to xml");
var TagIds = xDoc.Descendants()
                .Elements()
                .Where(e => 
                            e.HasAttributes && 
                            e.Name.LocalName.Equals("Baseclass") && 
                            e.Attribute("ID") != null)
                .Select(e => e.Attribute("ID").Value);

Hope this helps
