Solution 1

C#

// Create the query
var custs = from c in XElement.Load("Customers.xml").Elements("basha")
          select c ;

// Execute the query
foreach (var customer in custs)
{
     Console.WriteLine(customer);
}

We can get the value like this----

var ColumnValues = from member in doc.Descendants("customer").Descendants("params").Descendants("param").Descendants("member")
select new
{
name = member.Element("name").Value,
value = member.Element("value").Value
};

foreach (var structRes in ColumnValues)
{
string ColumnName = structRes.name.ToString();
string ColumnValue = structRes.value.ToString();
}

            string ColumnName = structRes.name.ToString();
            string ColumnValue = structRes.value.ToString();
}
