You would be well served to learn how to specify Xml location paths[^] for use in the SelectNodes method.

This example will return a XMLNodeList of all XmlElements in the document.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("test1.xml");
XmlNodeList nodes = doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("//*");

If you must have an Array, then: XmlElement[] elementarray = nodes.Cast<XmlElement>().ToArray();

You could try recursing over the children of each XmlElement.
Something like this might do the trick for you;

XML

class Program {
    static IEnumerable<XmlElement> Recurse(XmlElement element) {
        yield return element;

        foreach (var childElement in element.OfType<XmlElement>().Select(Recurse).SelectMany(childElements => childElements)) {
            yield return childElement;
        }
    }

    static void Main(string[] args) {
        var document = new XmlDocument();
        document.LoadXml("<Root><Child><Data>1C</Data></Child><Child><Data>2C</Data></Child></Root>");

        var array = document.Cast<XmlElement>().SelectMany(Recurse).ToArray();

        foreach (var node in array) {
            Console.WriteLine(node.Name);
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps,
Fredrik
