Solution 1

You can use XPath

XML

"/complexType/sequence/element[@value='117 Executive Drive']/@name"

to get the desired result

Solution 2

You can use XDocument[^] + Linq query:

C#

XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load("FullFileName.xml");
var qry = xDoc
    .Root
    .Descendants("element")
    .Where(n=>n.Attribute("value").Value=="117 Executive Drive")
    .Select(n=.n.Attribute("name").Value);
