如何构造更复杂的单个 LINQ to XML 查询？

Question

我是一个 LINQ 新手，所以一旦回答了下面的问题，它可能会变得非常简单和明显，但我不得不承认这个问题让我很恼火。

给定此 XML：

<measuresystems>
  <measuresystem name="SI" attitude="proud">
    <dimension name="mass" dim="M" degree="1">
      <unit name="kilogram" symbol="kg">
        <factor name="hundredweight" foreignsystem="US" value="45.359237" />
        <factor name="hundredweight" foreignsystem="Imperial" value="50.80234544" />
      </unit>
    </dimension>
  </measuresystem>
</measuresystems>

我可以使用以下 LINQ to XML 查询千克和美英担之间的转换系数的值，但肯定有办法将四个连续查询压缩为单个复杂查询吗？

XElement mss = XElement.Load(fileName);

IEnumerable<XElement> ms =
    from el in mss.Elements("measuresystem")
    where (string)el.Attribute("name") == "SI"
    select el;

IEnumerable<XElement> dim =
    from e2 in ms.Elements("dimension")
    where (string)e2.Attribute("name") == "mass"
    select e2;

IEnumerable<XElement> unit =
    from e3 in dim.Elements("unit")
    where (string)e3.Attribute("name") == "kilogram"
    select e3;

IEnumerable<XElement> factor =
    from e4 in unit.Elements("factor")
    where (string)e4.Attribute("name") == "pound" 
        && (string)e4.Attribute("foreignsystem") == "US"
    select e4;

foreach (XElement ex in factor)
{
    Console.WriteLine ((string)ex.Attribute("value"));
}

Answer 1

这可行，只需将它们添加在一起即可：

IEnumerable<XElement> ms =
    from el in mss.Elements("measuresystem")
    where (string)el.Attribute("name") == "SI"
    from e2 in el.Elements("dimension")
    where (string)e2.Attribute("name") == "mass"
    from e3 in e2.Elements("unit")
    where (string)e3.Attribute("name") == "kilogram"
    from e4 in e3.Elements("factor")
    where (string)e4.Attribute("name") == "pound" 
        && (string)e4.Attribute("foreignsystem") == "US"    
    select e4;
